Functions dependent on a greater number of parameters

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the development of the Brillouin function B(x) and its relationship to the Langevin function L(x). The Brillouin function describes the magnetization of paramagnetic materials and is defined in terms of the total angular quantum number J. As J approaches infinity, B(x) converges to L(x), illustrating their connection. Questions arise about the derivation of B(x) and the existence of other functions that can model magnetization with additional parameters. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding these functions in the context of magnetic behavior in materials.

hello :)

let's look at the following functions:

Langevin function L(x)=ctgh(x)-1/x
Brillouin function B(x)=f(x J); when J→∞, then B(x)=L(x)

to which I have the following questions:

- how was the Brillouin function B(x)=f(x,J) developed?
- are there other functions with the properties of the function B - dependent on a greater number of parameters, that would allow to model more objects?

I would appreciate any help, so please do ;) greets!

Brillouin function describes magnetization of paramagnet.
## M=Ng\mu_B J B_J(x) ##
where ##N## is number of atoms per unit volume, ##g## is Lande factor, ##\mu_B## Bohr magneton, ##J## total angular quantum number, ##x## is the ratio of the Zeeman energy of the magnetic moment in the external field to the thermal energy ##k_B T##. ##x=\frac{g\mu_B\mu_0 H}{k_B T}##.
B_J(x)=\frac{2J+1}{2J}\coth (\frac{2J+1}{2J}x)-\frac{1}{2J}\coth (\frac{1}{2J}x)
If ##J \rightarrow \infty## then ##B_J(x)## becomes ##L(x)=\coth x-\frac{1}{x}##. How when you have ##J## in definition of ##x##?
 
Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'
I am looking at pressure in liquids and I am testing my idea. The vertical tube is 100m, the contraption is filled with water. The vertical tube is very thin(maybe 1mm^2 cross section). The area of the base is ~100m^2. Will he top half be launched in the air if suddenly it cracked?- assuming its light enough. I want to test my idea that if I had a thin long ruber tube that I lifted up, then the pressure at "red lines" will be high and that the $force = pressure * area$ would be massive...
