Calculation of interface tension and stiffness in a two dimensional Ising Model by Monte Carlo simulation

Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Physics, 1998. === Includes bibliographical references (p. 55). === The two dimensional Ising Model is important because it describes various condensed matter systems. At low temperatures, spontaneous symmetry breaking occurs such that t...
