The Rushbrooke inequality: H=0, T\rightarrow T_c^-

C_H \geq \frac{T\{(\frac{\partial M}{\partial T})_H\}^2}{\chi_T}
\epsilon=\frac{T-T_c}{T_c}

C_H \sim (-\epsilon)^{-\alpha'}
\chi_T \sim (-\epsilon)^{-\gamma'}
M \sim (-\epsilon)^{\beta}
(\frac{\partial M}{\partial T})_H \sim (-\epsilon)^{\beta-1}

(-\epsilon)^{-\alpha'} \geq \frac{(-\epsilon)^{2\beta-2}}{(-\epsilon)^{-\gamma'}}

and we get Rushbrooke inequality
\alpha'+2\beta+\gamma' \geq 2
My only problem here is first step

C_H \geq \frac{T\{(\frac{\partial M}{\partial T})_H\}^2}{\chi_T}
we get this from identity
\chi_T(C_H-C_M)=T\alpha_H^2
But I don't know how?

Any idea?

Problem is with

\chi_T(C_H-C_M)=T\alpha^2_H

from that relation we obtain

C_H=\frac{T\alpha^2_H}{\chi_T}+C_M

So if C_M>0 than

C_H>\frac{T\alpha^2_H}{\chi_T}

Equality is in the game if and only if C_M=0.

Or when (\frac{\partial^2 F}{\partial T^2})_M=0. Is that possible?

F is Helmholtz free energy. Can you tell me something more about that physically?
 
Hi. I have got question as in title. How can idea of instantaneous dipole moment for atoms like, for example hydrogen be consistent with idea of orbitals? At my level of knowledge London dispersion forces are derived taking into account Bohr model of atom. But we know today that this model is not correct. If it would be correct I understand that at each time electron is at some point at radius at some angle and there is dipole moment at this time from nucleus to electron at orbit. But how...
