T < θ the

solution x = 0 is

maximum.

Actually,

in

this case

2 F (x,T )

 

= N [θ +T ]< 0 . For

x 0 let us

consider

two

cases for

x2

 

 

 

 

 

which we know the approximate analytical expressions for order parameter: 1) T < θ and T → θ; 2) T θ.

1. We earlier obtained (see § 14) that at T < θ and T → θthe order

parameter was x

 

 

T

. Therefore

=N 3T + 2θ+T 2N (θ−T )> 0.3Tθ 2

So, this is the minimum.

T 2 θ

=N −θ+ 4 e T > 0.

So, this is the minimum as well.

It can be shown that at any given temperature 0 T < θ solution of the Curie-Weiss equation with x 0 corresponds to local minimum of

F = F (x,T ), and solution with x = 0 corresponds to local maximum.

Finally, we obtain that at T > θ the paramagnetic state is realized, and at T < θ the ferromagnetic state occurs.

17. Free energy of a ferromagnet near the critical temperature

We found the Helmholtz free energy

F = F (x,T, H ) at arbitrary T

and H :

The order parameter

 

x = 0 at T > θ and

 

 

 

x

 

1 at T < θ and T → θ.

 

 

 

Therefore we can approximately expand

 

 

F = F (x,T, H )

into Taylor

series at T ≈ θ up to O(x4 )

(17.6) in the term

(17.7)

The Eq. (17.7) is correct at T > θ (x = 0) and at T → θ. Let us analyze graphically the dependence F (x) at various T and H .

1. At T > θ and H = 0 , F (x) has the minimum at x = 0 (see Fig. 17.1), i.e., the atoms do not have the mean magnetic moments.

2. At T > θ and H > 0 , F (x)

has the minimum at x > 0 due to the

term xh (see Fig. 17.2).

H < 0 , F (x) has the minimum at

3. Analogously, at T > θ and

x < 0 (see Fig. 17.3).

 

4. At T < θ and H = 0 , F (x)

has two minima (see Fig. 17.4) divid-

ed by barrier. Thus, the ground state is doubly degenerated: x > 0 or x < 0 .

43

Fig. 17.1. Free energy dependence on x at T > θ and H = 0

Fig. 17.3. Free energy dependence on x at T > θ and H < 0

Fig. 17.2. Free energy dependence on x at T > θ and H > 0

Fig. 17.4. Free energy dependence on x at T <θ and H = 0

5. At T < θ and H 0 one of the minima becomes deeper (see Fig. 17.5), i.e., the magnetic field removes the degeneracy. Now, if the magnetic field tends to zero H 0 , the macroscopic system remains in the state corresponding to this deeper minimum, since the probability of tunneling through the barrier is very low.

18. Spontaneous symmetry breaking

at the paramagnetic-ferromagnetic transition

Earlier we showed (see § 13) that at T < θ and H = 0 the order parameter x 0 . This corresponds to two physically unequivalent states

with magnetization M = NVµB x > 0 and M < 0 for the magnetic mo-

ments alignment along and against the selected axis z, respectively. In other words, at T < θ and H = 0 the system state is doubly degenerated, i.e., two different states have the same values of energy. The reason

is the parity of Helmholtz free energy function

F (x,T )= F (x,T ) at

H = 0. This is apparent from the expression for F (x,T )

near the Curie

temperature
