I have a paramagnatic solid, where the atoms have a spin S=1 , and a magnetic momentum
\mu_{B}
We have a magnetic field:
\vec{B}
Under the influence of B the atoms can take 3 value of energy e,-e,0
e=g.\mu_{B}.B
The solid is maintained at a Temperature T and N number of atoms.
The question are like the following:
1)write the partition function of each atom z, then deduce the one of the whole solid Z.
2)E(T)= ??
Limit of E(T--->0)= ??
Limit of E(T---> Large)= ??
3) same question for the entropy S(T)My work:
1)z=1+2.Cosh(e/KT)
Z=(1+2.Cosh(e/KT))^N

2)E(T)=-N.\frac{2.e.Sinh(e/KT)}{1+2.Cosh(e/KT)}
If T--->0 E(T)---> -N.e
if T--->Large E(T) ---> 0
3)S(T)=K.Ln(Z) +E/T
T---> 0 S(T)=N.K.Ln(2)
T---> Large S(T)=0I feel I messed it all up, anyone to help ?

I didn't write the steps in between, fairly easy, the limits I have checked them with a Matlab, and the derivatives I have checked them twice.
But I feel my work is not correct.
there is more questions, but need to check those before.

To solve this, I first used the units to work out that a= m* a/m, i.e. t=z/λ. This would allow you to determine the time duration within an interval section by section and then add this to the previous ones to obtain the age of the respective layer. However, this would require a constant thickness per year for each interval. However, since this is most likely not the case, my next consideration was that the age must be the integral of a 1/λ(z) function, which I cannot model.
