๐งฒ Ising Model
The Ising model represents a lattice of binary spins (up or down) that interact only with their nearest neighbours through a coupling constant J. Below a critical temperature, thermal fluctuations are too weak to disrupt spin alignment, so the system spontaneously magnetises; above it, the magnetisation vanishes in a continuous phase transition.
