An Ising model on the kagome lattice with super-exchange interactions is
solved exactly under the presence of a nonzero external magnetic field. The
model generalizes the super-exchange model introduced by Fisher in 1960 and is
analyzed in light of a free-fermion model. We deduce the critical condition and
present detailed analyses of its thermodynamic and magnetic properties. The
system is found to exhibit a second-order transition with logarithmic
singularities at criticality.Comment: 8 pages, 8 figures, references adde
