The exact solution of the two-dimensional Ising model by Onsager in 1944 represents one of the landmarks in theoretical physics. On the occassion of the fifty years of the exact solution, we give a historical review of this model. After briefly discussing the exact solution by Onsager, we point out some of the recent developments in this field. The exact solution by Onsager has inspired several...

A new solvation model that combines discrete and continuum descriptions of the solvent has been developed. The discrete solvent molecules are represented by effective fragment potentials (EFP), while the continuum is represented by the Onsager model. This (EFP+Onsager) model has been applied to the relative stabilities of the neutral and zwitterionic forms of glycine. Other supermolecule-contin...

We examine the Onsager algebra symmetry of τ -matrices in the superintegrable chiral Potts model. The comparison of Onsager algebra symmetry of the chiral Potts model with the sl2-loop algebra symmetry of six-vertex model at roots of unity is made from the aspect of functional relations using the Q-operator and fusion matrices. The discussion of Bethe ansatz for both models is conducted in a un...

We study the branches of equilibrium states of rigid polymer rods with the Onsager excluded volume potential in two-dimensional space. Since the probability density and the potential are related by the Boltzmann relation at equilibrium, we represent an equilibrium state using the Fourier coefficients of the Onsager potential. We derive a non-linear system for the Fourier coefficients of the equ...

We study analytically a thermal Brownian motor model and calculate exactly the Onsager coefficients. We show how the reciprocity relation holds and that the determinant of the Onsager matrix vanishes. Such a condition implies that the device is built with tight coupling. This explains why Carnot's efficiency can be achieved in the limit of infinitely slow velocities. We also prove that the effi...

In the zero temperature limit, it is well known that in systems evolving via Brownian dynamics, the most likely transition path between reactant and product may be found as a minimizer of the Freidlin–Wentzell action functional. An analog for finite temperature transitions is given by the Onsager–Machlup functional. The purpose of this work is to investigate properties of Onsager– Machlup minim...

We investigated numerically an Ising model coupled to two-dimensional Euclidean gravity with spherical topology, using Regge calculus with the dl=l path-integral measure to discretize the gravita-tional interaction. Previous studies of this system with toroidal topol-ogy have shown that the critical behavior of the Ising model remains in the at-space Onsager universality class, contrary to the ...

DPPC (dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine) and DMPC (dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine) are taken asphospholipids with an equal polar heads and with the difference in the length of hydrocarbonchains. Results obtain from the structural optimization of the isolated DPPC and DMPC in the gasphase, at the Hartree-Fock level of theory by means of STO-3g,3-21G, 6-31G and 6-31G* basissets. the most important d...
