For H=−2J∑Siz​Si+1z​−gμB​B∑Siz​, with dimensionless Siz​=±1/2, define K=βJ/2 and b=βgμB​B/2. The transfer matrix for the one-dimensional Ising model has largest eigenvalue eK[coshb+sinh2b+e−4K​]. Differentiating its logarithm gives the displayed moment per site. In particular the zero-field susceptibility per site is (gμB​)2eβJ/(4kB​T). Factors of two differ from a model whose spin variables themselves take values ±1.
