💻 A comprehensive simulation on the #Ising_Model by Asher Preska Steinberg, Michael Kosowsky, and Seth Fraden, Physics Department, Brandeis University
🔑 The goal of this experiment was to create #Monte_Carlo simulations of the 1D and 2D #Ising model.
To accomplish this the #Metropolis algorithm was implemented in #MATLAB. The dependence of #magnetization on #temperature with and without an external field was calculated, as well as the dependence of the #energy, #specific_heat, and #magnetic_susceptibility on temperature. The results of the 2D simulation were compared to the #Onsager solution.

🌴 In a new paper, SFI External Prof Jon Machta and colleagues from UC Davis, show that one of the most famous models in statistical physics — the #Ising model — could be used to understand why pistachio trees bloom in synchrony.
