Problem 1: Three Ising spins
Assume three spins are arranged in an equilateral triangle with each spin interacting with its two neighbors. The energy expression for the Ising model in an external magnetic field is give by:
(a) Find partition function for this model.
(b) Find average spin .
(c) Find internal energy .
