Betts and Ditzian have recently published the first 11 coefficients of the exact high-temperature series for the specific heat of the spin 1/2 Ising model on a crystobalite lattice. In this paper the exact coefficients for the next 8 terms are derived by making use of an approximate transformation between the Ising partition function of the crystobalite and diamond lattices. The series is analyzed by using the ratio and Padé approximant methods, but a reliable estimate for α has not been obtained.

The high-temperature initial susceptibility and specific heat of the spin 1/2 Ising model on the octahedral lattice are investigated by the method of exact series expansions. From the susceptibility series the critical temperature is found to be νc = tanh J/kTc = 0.1613 ± 0.0001. By using a method due to Gibberd the specific-heat series is calculated to 15 terms but a reliable estimate of the exponent a is not obtained, although the results do support the presently believed value α = 1/8.

We consider the anisotropic Ising model on the triangular lattice with finite boundaries, and use Kaufman’s spinor method to calculate low-temperature series expansions for the partition function to high order. From these, we can obtain 108-term series expansions for the bulk, surface and corner free energies. We extrapolate these to all terms and thereby conjecture the exact results for each. Our results agree with the exactly known bulk-free energy and with Cardy and Peschel’s conformal invariance predictions for the dominant behaviour at criticality. For the isotropic case, they also agree with Vernier and Jacobsen’s conjecture for the 60 ° corners.
