Mean-field Ising free energy without external field



free energy of the mean-field Ising model, low resolution

2D plot of a family of free energy curves for the mean-field Ising model for different temperature values in the absence of an external field. The free energies are displayed as functions of the magnetization m.

3D plot of the Ising mean-field free energy as a function of magnetization and temperature. The colors correspond to the ordered (blue) and unordered (orange) phases. The average magnetization is superimposed in the same color coding. Due to the absence of an external field the surface is symmetric.

3D plot of the Ising mean-field free energy as a function of magnetization and temperature - side view. It is clearly visible here that the free energy decreases rapidly with increasing temperature.

3D plot of the Ising mean-field free energy as a function of magnetization and temperature. The colors correspond to the ordered (blue) and unordered (orange) phases. The average magnetization is superimposed in the same color coding. Due to the presence of an external field the surface is asymmetric.
