Abstract

The mixed spin-1/2 and spin-1 Ising chain with both longitudinal and transverse single-ion anisotropies is solved exactly by means of a mapping to the spin-1/2 Ising chains with alternating transverse fields and the Jordan–Wigner transformation. Within this scheme, the thermodynamic quantities of this model are rigorously determined by a recursion formula derived for the partition function based on the reduced spin-1/2 transverse Ising model. The corresponding thermodynamic properties are calculated and discussed.
