Phase Diagram And Critical Exponent Nu For The Nearest-Neighbor And Next-Nearest-Neighbor Interaction Ising Model

We obtain an approximation of the phase diagram of an Ising model with both nearest-neighbor and next-nearest-neighbor interactions on the square lattice. We use the Fisher zeros of the partition functions of a sequence of finite-sized systems along with various extrapolation methods to obtain phase transition points. In addition, we obtain an approximate value of the correlation length critical exponent nu. Our results are compared to previous results for this system using a wide variety of other approaches.
