Calculation

The expression for total energy is given as:

U=μBN-N..(1)

Where,

N= the number of dipoles pointing up

N= the number of dipoles pointing down

N=N+N= the total number of dipoles

The net magnetization is given as:

M=μN-N=-UB...(2)

Where,

B= the magnetic field

U= the total energy

Most popular questions from this chapter

Use a computer to reproduce Table 3.2 and the associated graphs of entropy, temperature, heat capacity, and magnetization. (The graphs in this section are actually drawn from the analytic formulas derived below, so your numerical graphs won't be quite as smooth.)

In solid carbon monoxide, each CO molecule has two possible orientations: CO or OC. Assuming that these orientations are completely random (not quite true but close), calculate the residual entropy of a mole of carbon monoxide.

Show that the entropy of a two-state paramagnet, expressed as a function of temperature, is S=Nk[ln(2coshx)xtanhx], where x=μB/kT. Check that this formula has the expected behavior as T0and T.

In Problem 2.18 you showed that the multiplicity of an Einstein solid containing N oscillators and q energy units is approximately

Ω(N,q)q+Nqqq+NNN

(a) Starting with this formula, find an expression for the entropy of an Einstein solid as a function of N and q. Explain why the factors omitted from the formula have no effect on the entropy, when N and q are large.

(b) Use the result of part (a) to calculate the temperature of an Einstein solid as a function of its energy. (The energy is U=qϵ, where ϵis a constant.) Be sure to simplify your result as much as possible.

(c) Invert the relation you found in part (b) to find the energy as a function of temperature, then differentiate to find a formula for the heat capacity.

(d) Show that, in the limit T, the heat capacity is C=Nk. (Hint: When x is very small, ex1+x.) Is this the result you would expect? Explain.

(e) Make a graph (possibly using a computer) of the result of part (c). To avoid awkward numerical factors, plot C/Nkvs. the dimensionless variable t=kT/ϵ, for t in the range from 0 to about 2. Discuss your prediction for the heat capacity at low temperature, comparing to the data for lead, aluminum, and diamond shown in Figure 1.14. Estimate the value of ϵ, in electron-volts, for each of those real solids.

(f) Derive a more accurate approximation for the heat capacity at high temperatures, by keeping terms through x3 in the expansions of the exponentials and then carefully expanding the denominator and multiplying everything out. Throw away terms that will be smaller than(ϵ/kT)2 in the final answer. When the smoke clears, you should find C=Nk1-112(ϵ/kT)2.

Consider an ideal two-state electronic paramagnet such as DPPH, with μ=μB. In the experiment described above, the magnetic field strength was 2.06T and the minimum temperature was 2.2K. Calculate the energy, magnetization, and entropy of this system, expressing each quantity as a fraction of its maximum possible value. What would the experimenters have had to do to attain99% of the maximum possible magnetization?
