We have studied the ferromagnetic behavior of the Ising model at a critical
temperature, when undergoing phase transition. To generate spin configurations,
we used the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm, which applies a Markov chain Monte
Carlo sampling method. We determined the time of equilibrium to be approximately
$5000$ Monte Carlo cycles, and used the following samples to find the probability
distribution at temperature $T_{1} = 1.0 J / k_{B}$, and $T_{2} = 2.4 J / k_{B}$.
For $T_{1}$ the mean energy per spin is $\langle \epsilon \rangle \approx -1.9969 J$,
with a variance $\text{Var} (\epsilon) = 0.0001$. And for $T_{2}$, close to the critical
temperature, the mean energy per spin is $\langle \epsilon \rangle \approx -1.2370 J$,
with a variance $\text{Var} (\epsilon) = 0.0203$. In addition, we estimated
the expected energy and magnetization per spin, the heat capacity and magnetic
susceptibility. We have estimated the critical temperatures of finite lattice sizes,
and used these values to approximate the critical temperature of a lattice of
infinite size. Using linear regression, we estimated the critical temperature
to be $T_{c}^{*}(L = \infty) \approx 2.2693 J/k_{B}$.
