Criticality in a hybrid spin model with Fermi–Dirac statistics

Combining concepts of artificial neural networks (ANNs) with the stochastic dynamics of Ising spin lattices we introduce a hybrid model, the hybrid spin model (HSM). We find that the HSM carries the critical/tricritical fluctuations of the 2D Ising model and allows for an accurate estimation of the isothermal critical/tricritical exponents of 2D Ising universality class. Our work clearly demonstrates that HSM launches a new category of models...
