Homework Statement


H=H_{0} -g\muSB
H_{0} = hamiltonian in absence of field
S=Spin operator in the direction of the fied (say along z-axis)

show that
1) M=1/\beta (dLn Z/ dB)

2) \chi = \beta(g \mu)^{2} <(S-<S>)^{}2>

Dont know why it shows\mu in superscript. It isn't meant to be!
That is the chemical potential.

Homework Equations


Canonical partition function for a grand ensemble is
Z=Tr{exp(-\beta(H-\muN)}




The Attempt at a Solution



I know that M=g\mu<S>

I don't know how to go about differentiating Ln Z w.r.t B

For the second part, I used the given result and differentiated it w.r.t B again.
I get \betatimes some junk! I can't get to the required result. I have a feeling its very poor math on my part. Any leads from here on would be well received.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
got it

Cant stop laighing at myself.
 
Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...
##|\Psi|^2=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\pi b^2}}\exp(\frac{-(x-x_0)^2}{b^2}).## ##\braket{x}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\pi b^2}}\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}dx\,x\exp(-\frac{(x-x_0)^2}{b^2}).## ##y=x-x_0 \quad x=y+x_0 \quad dy=dx.## The boundaries remain infinite, I believe. ##\frac{1}{\sqrt{\pi b^2}}\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}dy(y+x_0)\exp(\frac{-y^2}{b^2}).## ##\frac{2}{\sqrt{\pi b^2}}\int_0^{\infty}dy\,y\exp(\frac{-y^2}{b^2})+\frac{2x_0}{\sqrt{\pi b^2}}\int_0^{\infty}dy\,\exp(-\frac{y^2}{b^2}).## I then resolved the two...
