For a magnetic system held at constant TT and HH (see Problem 5.17 ), the quantity that is minimized is the magnetic analogue of the Gibbs free energy, which obeys the thermodynamic identity

Phase diagrams for two magnetic systems are shown in Figure 5.14 ; the vertical axis on each of these figures is 渭0H渭0H (a) Derive an analogue of the Clausius-Clapeyron relation for the slope of a phase boundary in the HH - TT plane. Write your equation in terms of the difference in entropy between the two phases. (b) Discuss the application of your equation to the ferromagnet phase diagram in Figure 5.14. (c) In a type-I superconductor, surface currents flow in such a way as to completely cancel the magnetic field (B, not H)(B, not H) inside. Assuming that MM is negligible when the material is in its normal (non-superconducting) state, discuss the application of your equation to the superconductor phase diagram in Figure 5.14.5.14. Which phase has the greater entropy? What happens to the difference in entropy between the phases at each end of the phase boundary?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The Clausius- Clapeyron relation is achieved; both the phases have equal entropy; superconducting phase has less entropy than normal phase except at the T=0

Step by step solution

01

given information

The Gibbs free energy for a magnetic system at constant temperature T, which obeys thermodynamic identity is given by

dGm=-SdT-Md

02

Part (a)

At boundaryGm=Gp

whereGm,Gpis Gibbs free energy for magnetic and para magnetic phase respectively.

The two phases must be equally stable therefore the changes in the Gibbs free energy must remain equal. Therefore,

dGm=dGp

The thermo-dynamic identity for G is

-SmdT-Mmd=-SpdT-Mpd-Sm-MmddT=-Sp-MpddT-(Sm-Sp)-(Mm-Mp)ddT=0(Mm-Mp)ddT=(Sm-Sp)dHdT=(Sm-Sp)(Mm-Mp)

This is equivalent to Clausius-Clapeyron equation.

03

Part(b)

In ferromagnetic phase diagram

dHdT=0up to the critical point.

Therefore,

at the boundary phase,Sm=SpandMm>Mpfor a ferro magnet.

04

Part (C)

Let phase 1 be normal phase and phase 2 be superconductor phase.

For a superconductor B=0

-H=MVM=HVdHdT=-(S1-S2)(M1-M2)dHdT=S1-S2VH

We see the slope dHdTis negative everywhere except at T=0.

Here, slope is 0. At every other point the entropy at superconductor phase is smaller than entropy at normal phase. At T=0, both phases have 0 entropy. this satisfies third law of thermodynamics.

At this point

dHdT=0H=constantHS2-S1

When H = 0

S1=S2.

Most popular questions from this chapter

Because osmotic pressures can be quite large, you may wonder whether the approximation made in equation5.74is valid in practice: Is 0really a linear function of Pto the required accuracy? Answer this question by discussing whether the derivative of this function changes significantly, over the relevant pressure range, in realistic examples.

0T,P20T,P1+P2-P10P......equation(5.74)

Plot the Van der Waals isotherm for T/Tc = 0.95, working in terms of reduced variables. Perform the Maxwell construction (either graphically or numerically) to obtain the vapor pressure. Then plot the Gibbs free energy (in units of NkTc) as a function of pressure for this same temperature and check that this graph predicts the same value for the vapor pressure.

Use a Maxwell relation from the previous problem and the third law of thermodynamics to prove that the thermal expansion coefficient (defined in Problem 1.7) must be zero at T=0.

Calculate the Helmholtz free energy of a van der Waals fluid, up to an undetermined function of temperature as in equation5.56. Using reduced variables, carefully plot the Helmholtz free energy (in units of NkTc) as a function of volume for T/Tc=0.8Identify the two points on the graph corresponding to the liquid and gas at the vapor pressure. (If you haven't worked the preceding problem, just read the appropriate values off Figure5.23.) Then prove that the Helmholtz free energy of a combination of these two states (part liquid, part gas) can be represented by a straight line connecting these two points on the graph. Explain why the combination is more stable, at a given volume, than the homogeneous state represented by the original curve, and describe how you could have determined the two transition volumes directly from the graph of F.

Repeat the preceding problem with T/TC=0.8
