Relative magnetization and a Face Centered Cubic lattice

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the calculation of relative magnetization in a Face Centered Cubic (FCC) lattice, contrasting it with a Simple Cubic lattice. The formula for relative magnetization in a Simple Cubic lattice is provided, specifically: \sigma=1-\frac{1}{S}\frac{v}{(2\pi)^3}\int^{\frac{\pi}{a}}_{-\frac{\pi}{a}}\int^{\frac{\pi}{a}}_{-\frac{\pi}{a}}\int^{\frac{\pi}{a}}_{-\frac{\pi}{a}}\mbox{d} k_x\mbox{d} k_y\mbox{d}k_z(\mbox{e}^{\frac{E(\vec{k})}{kT}}-1)^{-1}. The discussion seeks clarification on how this equation adapts for an FCC lattice, specifically regarding the volume of the elementary cell (v) and the integral boundaries.

In case of simple cubic lattice relative magnetization is given by

\sigma=1-\frac{1}{S}\frac{v}{(2\pi)^3}\int^{\frac{\pi}{a}}_{-\frac{\pi}{a}}\int^{\frac{\pi}{a}}_{-\frac{\pi}{a}}\int^{\frac{\pi}{a}}_{-\frac{\pi}{a}}\mbox{d} k_x\mbox{d} k_y\mbox{d}k_z(\mbox{e}^{\frac{E(\vec{k})}{kT}}-1)^{-1}
where ##v## is volume of elementary cell, ##a## is parameter of elementary cell, and integration from ##-\frac{\pi}{a}## to ##\frac{\pi}{a}## is integration over first Brillouin zone.

How relation for relative magnetization looks in case of face cubic centered lattice. What is ##v## and what are integral boundaries in that case? Thanks a lot for the answer.

Could you give us a reference for this equation?
