The spin-1/2 Ising model on the bow-tie lattice as an exactly soluble free-fermion model

arXiv:0708.4102

Abstract

The spin-1/2 Ising model on the bow-tie lattice is exactly solved by establishing a precise mapping relationship with its corresponding free-fermion eight-vertex model. Ground-state and finite-temperature phase diagrams are obtained for the anisotropic bow-tie lattice with three different exchange interactions along three different spatial directions.
