Abstract
Assuming the existence of certain limits we give an exact solution of a two-dimensional elastic Ising model with quadratic coupling. The main results are these: (I) If the lattice is slightly stretched, thermodynamic instability occurs for temperatures in a neighborhood of the critical point. (II) Outside this neighborhood, , , and diverge. (III) The nearest-neighbor spin-spin correlation function is nonzero for any pressure when becomes infinite. (IV) Antiferromagnetic as well as ferromagnetic behavior can occur for weak coupling at any pressure. (V) For strong coupling, at 0 pressure the model can have a Curie and Néel point or no critical point.
