Homework Statement


The simplest model that can account for the low-temperature structure is
one in which the energy of nearest-neighbor pairs depends on what kind of pair
it is. We define the quantities ##N_{AA}, N_{BB}, N_{AB}## to be the number of nearest-
neighbor pairs of the Cu-Cu, Zn-Zn, and Cu-Zn type, respectively, and take
the energy of the configuration to be:
$$ (4.1) \ \ \ \ E = N_{AA}e_{AA}+N_{AB}e_{AB}+N_{BB}e_{BB}$$
where ##e_{AA}, e_{AB}, \ and\ e_{BB}## are, respectively, the energies of an AA, AB, and
BB bond.

Let ##N## be the numbers of lattice sites and ##N_A## , ##N_B## the number of Cu and
Zn atoms, respectively. Referring to Figure 4.1, we introduce the occupation
numbers for each of the two simple cubic sublattices: ##N_{A1}## and ##N_{B1}## are the number of atoms of each type on sublattice 1, ##N_{A2}## and ##N_{B2}## the number of atoms of each type on sublattice 2. We have
$$(4.2) \ \ \ \ N_{A1}+N_{A2} = N_{A} = c_A N$$
$$N_{B1}+N_{B2} = N_B = c_B N$$
$$N_{A_1}+N_{B_1} = \frac{1}{2}N$$
$$N_{A_2}+N_{B_2} = \frac{1}{2}N$$

For the sake of definiteness we let ##N_A \le N_B## and define the order parameter:

$$(4.3) \ \ \ \ m= \frac{N_{A1}-N_{A2}}{N_A}$$
$$(4.4) \ \ \ \ N_{A_1} = 1/2 N_A(1+m) \ \ N_{B_1} = 1/2(N_B-N_A m )$$
$$ N_{A_2} = 1/2 N_A(1-m) \ \ N_{B_2} = 1/2(N_B+N_A m)$$

Up to this point our treatment is exact. We now make the crucial approximations:

$$(4.5) \ \ \ \ N_{AA}=\frac{qN_{A1}N_{A2}}{\frac{1}{2}N} \ \ N_{BB} = \frac{qN_{B1}N_{B2}}{\frac{1}{2}N}\ \ \ N_{AB} = q\bigg( \frac{N_{A1}N_{B2}}{\frac{1}{2}N}+\frac{N_{A2}N_{B1}}{\frac{1}{2}N}$$

where ##q## is the number of nearest neighbors surrounding each atomic site. The
mean energy is obtained by substituting (4.5) into (4.1), while the entropy can
be evaluated using the method of Section 3.2. The appropriate free energy is
$$(4.7) \ \ \ \ E = \frac{1}{2}qN( e_{AA}c_A^2+2e_{AB}c_A c_B + e_{BB}c_B^2)-qN\epsilon c_A^2m^2$$

where:
$$(4.8) \ \ \ \ \epsilon = \frac{1}{2} (e_{AA}+e_{BB})-e_{AB}$$

$$\ldots$$

We introduce the variables ##n_{iA}## and ##n_{iB}##, where ##n_{iA}=1## if an atom of type ##A## occupies site ##i## otherwise it's zero.
##n_{iB} = 1-n_{iA}##
These variables can be expressed in terms of Ising spin variables:

$$(4.12) \ \ \ n_{iA} = 1/2(1+\sigma_i) , \ \ n_{iB} = 1/2 (1-\sigma_i)$$

with ##\sigma_i = \pm 1##.
With ##\epsilon = 2J##, the energy (4.1) becomes:
$$(4.13) \ \ \ \ \ H = \sum_{<ij>} \sigma_i \sigma_j +\frac{q}{4} (e_{AA}-e_{BB})\sum_{i} \sigma_i +q/8 N (e_{AA}+e_{BB}+2e_{AB})$$

My question is how to derive ##(4.13)## from the above preceding paragraphs?, I am not sure how achieve these terms.

Thread 'Need help understanding this figure on energy levels'
This figure is from "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths (3rd edition). It is available to download. It is from page 142. I am hoping the usual people on this site will give me a hand understanding what is going on in the figure. After the equation (4.50) it says "It is customary to introduce the principal quantum number, ##n##, which simply orders the allowed energies, starting with 1 for the ground state. (see the figure)" I still don't understand the figure :( Here is...
Thread 'Understanding how to "tack on" the time wiggle factor'
The last problem I posted on QM made it into advanced homework help, that is why I am putting it here. I am sorry for any hassle imposed on the moderators by myself. Part (a) is quite easy. We get $$\sigma_1 = 2\lambda, \mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_2 = \lambda, \mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_3 = -\lambda, \mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ -1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} $$ There are two ways...
