The free energy and the specific heat of a planar arrays of atomic chains, with on-site quartic anharmonicities and interchain elastic near neighbor (nn) and next near meighbor (nnn) interaction, are obtained. A mean-field approximation for the on-site anharmonicities and the Hsue-Chern approach to the quartic oscillators are used. An Ising-type behavior of the specific heat is obtained, both for nn and nnn cases. The physical relevance of this result, and a careful analysis of other approaches used in literature, are also presented..

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
