This is the last in a series of three papers on the history of the Lenz-Ising model from 1920 to the early 1970s. In the first paper, I studied the invention of the model in the 1920s, while in the ...

This is the second in a series of three papers that charts the history of the Lenz-Ising model (commonly called just the Ising model in the physics literature) in considerable detail, from its ...
