Schottky's forgotten step to the Ising model
Reinhard Folk, Yurij Holovatch
A longstanding problem in natural science and later in physics was the understanding of the existence of ferromagnetism and its disappearance under heating to high temperatures. Al…
The Survival of Ernst Ising and the Struggle to Solve His Model
Reinhard Folk
The life of Ernst Ising and the steps to solving the model named after him are reported in parallel. Wilhelm Lenz suggested his student Ernst Ising to explain the existence of ferr…
Crossing borders in the 19th century and now -- two examples of weaving a scientific network
R. Folk, Yu. Holovatch
Scientific research is and was at all times a transnational (global) activity. In this respect, it crosses several borders: national, cultural, and ideological. Even in times when…
The Fate of Ernst Ising and the Fate of his Model
Thomas Ising, Reinhard Folk, Ralph Kenna +2
On this, the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the "Ising Lectures" in Lviv (Ukraine), we give some personal reflections about the famous model that was suggested by Wilhelm Lenz…
Helmholtz decomposition theorem and Blumenthal's extension by regularization
D. Petrascheck, R. Folk
Helmholtz decomposition theorem for vector fields is usually presented with too strong restrictions on the fields and only for time independent fields. Blumenthal showed in 1905 th…
Phase diagram of Model C in the parametric space of order parameter and space dimensions
M. Dudka, R. Folk, Yu. Holovatch
The scaling behavior of model C describing the dynamical behaviour of the -component nonconserved order parameter coupled statically to a scalar conserved density is considered…
