Using the finite cluster approximation (FCA) based on a single-site cluster theory and Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) under the Metropolis algorithm, we study the critical properties of two-dimensional (2D) spins-½ system by analyzing the effect of the anisotropic parameter [Formula: see text] and next-nearest-neighbor (NNN) interaction [Formula: see text] on the critical temperature [Formula: see text] of the 2D anisotropic square lattice. It is found that the MCS is more reliable than the FCA method in the resolution of the Ising model. Moreover, MC calculations reveal that [Formula: see text] is strongly correlated with the external magnetic field [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text], where the competition between these parameters can generate several rich phase diagrams.

The magnetic properties of anisotropic 3D Ising model on a cubic lattice are studied by Monte Carlo simulation. In particular, we have considered an extended 3D Ising model with spatially uniaxial anisotropic bond randomness on the simple cubic lattice parameterized by exchange interaction parameter [Formula: see text], anisotropy parameter [Formula: see text] and external longitudinal magnetic field [Formula: see text]. The obtained numerical data clearly point out a second-order ferromagnetic-paramagnetic phase transition belonging in the same universality class with the 3D random Ising model at critical temperature [Formula: see text] that is strongly correlated to [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. Especially, in the limit, [Formula: see text], the spin ½ cubic lattice becomes a collection of noncorrelated Ising chains, whereas in the other limit, [Formula: see text], the system becomes a stack of noncorrelated Ising square lattice.
