✦ Synopsis

We study the two-dimensional Ising model for the square lattice in the presence of a magnetic ÿeld which applies on a part of spins. Speciÿcally, we consider the situation in which only the spins on a row or a diagonal line can interact with the magnetic ÿeld. The low-temperature series expansions of the reduced partition functions for the square lattice with a magnetic ÿeld on a row are presented for both ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic spin-spin couplings. The lowand high-temperature series expansions of the zero-ÿeld susceptibility for the above lattice are performed, and the critical amplitudes are estimated. The critical exponent r of the susceptibility for a ferromagnet is conÿrmed to be 3 4 . The spontaneous magnetization per ÿeld-applied site of the same system is found to be the same as the ordinary spontaneous magnetization per site with an uniform magnetic ÿeld. The exact partition functions are also obtained for the super-exchange model applying both on a boundary row and on the central row of the rectangular Ising lattice.
