A. Brooks Harris
Arthur Brooks Harris, called Brooks Harris, (born 25 March 1935) is an American physicist. Biography Harris was born in Boston, Massachusetts, and studied at Harvard University with bachelor's degree in 1956, master's degree in 1959, and PhD in experimental solid state physics from Horst Meyer (physicist), Horst Meyer in 1962.

University Of Pennsylvania Faculty
A university () is an institution of higher (or tertiary) education and research which awards academic degrees in several academic disciplines. ''University'' is derived from the Latin phrase ''universitas magistrorum et scholarium'', which roughly means "community of teachers and scholars". Universities typically offer both undergraduate and postgraduate programs. The first universities in Europe were established by Catholic Church monks. The University of Bologna (), Italy, which was founded in 1088, is the first university in the sense of: *being a high degree-awarding institute. *using the word ''universitas'' (which was coined at its foundation). *having independence from the ecclesiastic schools and issuing secular as well as non-secular degrees (with teaching conducted by both clergy and non-clergy): grammar, rhetoric, logic, theology, canon law, notarial law.Hunt Janin: "The university in medieval life, 1179–1499", McFarland, 2008, , p. 55f.de Ridder-Symoens, Hild ...

Ising Model
The Ising model () (or Lenz-Ising model or Ising-Lenz model), named after the physicists Ernst Ising and Wilhelm Lenz, is a mathematical model of ferromagnetism in statistical mechanics. The model consists of discrete variables that represent magnetic dipole moments of atomic "spins" that can be in one of two states (+1 or −1). The spins are arranged in a graph, usually a lattice (where the local structure repeats periodically in all directions), allowing each spin to interact with its neighbors. Neighboring spins that agree have a lower energy than those that disagree; the system tends to the lowest energy but heat disturbs this tendency, thus creating the possibility of different structural phases. The model allows the identification of phase transitions as a simplified model of reality. The two-dimensional square-lattice Ising model is one of the simplest statistical models to show a phase transition. The Ising model was invented by the physicist , who gave it as a pro ...

Heisenberg Model (classical)
The Classical Heisenberg model, developed by Werner Heisenberg, is the n = 3 case of the n-vector model, one of the models used in statistical physics to model ferromagnetism, and other phenomena. Definition It can be formulated as follows: take a d-dimensional lattice, and a set of spins of the unit length :\vec_i \in \mathbb^3, , \vec_i, =1\quad (1), each one placed on a lattice node. The model is defined through the following Hamiltonian: : \mathcal = -\sum_ \mathcal_ \vec_i \cdot \vec_j\quad (2) with : \mathcal_ = \begin J & \mboxi, j\mbox \\ 0 & \mbox\end a coupling between spins. Properties * The general mathematical formalism used to describe and solve the Heisenberg model and certain generalizations is developed in the article on the Potts model. * In the continuum limit the Heisenberg model (2) gives the following equation of motion :: \vec_=\vec\wedge \vec_. :This equation is called the continuous classical Heisenberg ferromagnet equation or shortly Heisenberg mo ...
