we obtain M 0 (ferromagnetic phase). The value θ is called the Curie temperature or transition temperature into ferromagnetic state.

The physical basis of ferromagnetic transition is the exchange interaction, i.e., it is energetically favorable for magnetic moments to align along one direction and to decrease the energy of the system as well as Helmholtz free energy. Magnetic moments alignment leads to the order appearance in the system, i.e., the entropy decreases. If the temperature is high, then though the intrinsic energy of ordered (ferromagnetic) phase is lower than the intrinsic energy of disordered (paramagnetic) phase, the entropy of disordered phase is higher than the entropy of ordered phase. So, the Helmholtz free energy of disordered phase at high temperatures is lower than the corresponding value of the ordered phase.

Denote the order parameter x as the mean magnetic moment of at-

. In the case of the order absence, x = 0 due to the

magnetic moments have the chaotic orientation, while the mean magnetic moment is the total moment divided by the number of moments. If the magnetic moments have the preferred orientation, then x 0 and the order is presented.

(i.e., all magnetic moments have the same direction). It is clear that magnetization is equal to zero at T > θ. Let us analyze the temperature dependence of magnetization at temperatures below the Curie tempera-

ture. At T θ, i.e., T 0 we can expand

Resulting characteristic temperature dependencies for order parameter and magnetization are shown on Fig. 14.1.

Let us analyze the results obtained. The order parameter and magnetization identically equal zero at T ≥ θ. At temperatures T < θ both x and M increase monotonically with temperature decreasing to values 1 and M0 , respectively. In other words, in the system of magnetic mo-

ments the order occurs under cooling below T = θ, and this order increases as cooling increases:

.

In other words, the temperature decreasing leads to orientating the magnetic moments along one direction. So, order parameter and magnetization are the quantitative measures of ordering.

It is common knowledge that any state of system of magnetic moments is defined by set of numbers σ1z ,σ2z ,...,σNz which are equal to ±1. The

total amount of these numbers {σnz } is equal to

these numbers for the ground state? Recall that

Since both σiz and σjz

are equal to ±1, then σizσjz = ±1

the energy will be minimal if

σiz = +1 and

 

σjz

σiz = −1 and

σjz = −1 (i, j). As this takes place, the energy of the ground state is
