COMMENTS
The hexagonal lattice is the familiar 2-dimensional lattice in which each point has 6 neighbors. This is sometimes called the triangular lattice.
Many sources give this sequence multiplied by 4 because the actual susceptibility per spin is this series times 4m^2/kT. (m is the magnetic moment of a single spin; the factor m^2 may be present or absent depending on the precise definition of the susceptibility.)
