Thermodynamic limit for a system with dipole-dipole interactions
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 17 February 2009
Abstract
It is shown that for the three dimensional Ising model with dipole-dipole interactions, the thermodynamic limit of the free energy with simple boundary conditions is not the same as the thermodynamic limit of the free energy with periodic boundary conditions. A variational principle is developed to connect the two free energies.
