In the future, the team would like to study other 2D transition metal materials, going beyond the 2D Ising spin model. Story Source: Materials provided by Institute for Basic Science.

In particular, the Ising model describes spins ("compass needles") constrained to point either up or down, perpendicular to the plane.

Simulated low temperature (left) and high temperature (right) phase of a 2D Ising model, where blue points are spins pointing up, and the red points are spins pointing down. Notice that the spins ...

Hastings and colleagues found that the 2D Ising model predicts the same statistics as those observed for the scale-invariant spatial correlations between trees in 2003–2004. They also confirmed that ...

Combinatorial optimization problems are at the root of many industrial processes and solving them is key to a more sustainable and efficient future. Ising machines can solve certain combinatorial ...

This is the last in a series of three papers on the history of the Lenz-Ising model from 1920 to the early 1970s. In the first paper, I studied the invention of the model in the 1920s, while in the ...
