Curie-Weiss magnet: a simple model of phase transition    [PDF]

Martin Kochmański, Tadeusz Paszkiewicz, Sławomir Wolski
The Curie-Weiss model is an exactly soluble model of ferromagnetism that allows one to study in detail the behavior of thermodynamic quantities in the neighborhood of the critical temperature. Because of its simplicity and because of the correctness of at least of some of its predictions, the Curie-Weiss model occupies an important place in the statistical mechanics literature and its application to information theory. It is frequently presented as an introduction to the Ising model or to spin glass models, and usually only general features of the Curie-Weiss model are presented. We discuss here properties of this model in a rather detailed way. We present the exact, approximate and numerical results for this particular model.
