Consider an ideal two-state electronic paramagnet such as DPPH, with μ=μB. In the experiment described above, the magnetic field strength was 2.06T and the minimum temperature was 2.2K. Calculate the energy, magnetization, and entropy of this system, expressing each quantity as a fraction of its maximum possible value. What would the experimenters have had to do to attain99% of the maximum possible magnetization?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The required values are: MμN=0.557,SSmax=0.763,UUmax=-0.557, and BT=3.945TK-1.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

Given material: Ideal two-state electronic paramagnet such as DPPH.

μ=μB

Magnetic field strength =2.06T

Minimum Temperaturerole="math" localid="1647345687440" =2.2K

02

Calculation

Here, the magnetic moment is equal to the Bohr magneton i.e.

μB=eh4πme

By substituting 9.11×10-31kgfor me, localid="1647346175321" 6.62×10-34J.sfor hand 1.6×10-19Cfor ein the above equation, we get,

μB=1.6×10−196.62×10−344×π9.11×10−31μB=9.26×10−24JT−1

Since the tanh function has a maximum value of +1which is reached asymptotically as its argument goes to +∞, the maximum magnetization is reached in the limit of the very high applied field Band at a very low temperature.

For an applied field of 2.06Tand a temperature of 2.2K, fractional change in Magnetization is given as:

localid="1647348010263" MμN=tanhμBkT..........(1)

By substituting 1.38×10-23JK-1for k, 9.26×10-24JT-1for μB, 2.06Tfor Bin the above equation, we get,

MμN=tanh9.26×10−24×2.061.38×10−23×2.2MμN=0.557

Now, the magnetization can also be written as:

localid="1647346764792" M=μN↑-N↓M=μ2N↑−N

By dividing both sides by μNon the above equation, we get,

localid="1647348000233" MμN=2×NtN-1………..(2)

On comparing equations (1) and (2),

tanh(μBkT)=(2×NtN−1)Butn=NtNso,tanh(μBkT)=2n−1n=12[1+tan(μBkT)]

By substituting 0.557for tanμBkTin the above equation, we get,

n=12[1+0.557]=0.78

The entropy is given as:

Sk=Nln(N)−(N↑)ln(N↑)−(N−N↑)ln(N−N↑)

Replace each N↑with N↑NNin the above equation,

Sk=Nln(N)−NtNNlnNtNN−N−NtNNlnN−NtNN

But n=NtN,

Hence, the above equation can be written as:

Sk=Nln(N)−(nN)ln(nN)−(N−(nN))ln(N−(nN))Sk≃N[ln(N)−(n)ln(nN)−(1−n)ln(N−(nN))]

But ln(ab)=lna+lnb

Hence, the above equation becomes,

Sk≃N[ln(N)-(n)[ln(n)+ln(N)]-(1-n){ln(N)+ln(1-n)}]Sk=N[nln(n)+(1-n)ln(1-n)]

The maximum entropy occurs at n=NtN=0.5and it can be given as:

SmaxNk=-[0.5×ln(0.5)+(1-0.5)ln(1-0.5)]SmaxNk=0.693

The entropy for an applied field of 2.06Tand a temperature of 2.2K

Hence,

localid="1647348762642" SNk=-[0.778×ln(0.7785)+(1-0.7785)ln(1-0.7785)]SNk=0.5288

Fractional entropy is therefore given as:

localid="1647348833396" SNk×NkSmax=0.52880.693SSmax=0.763

The energy is given as:

localid="1647348937658" U=μBN-2N↑U=μBN1-2NtNU=μBN(1-2n)

That is maximum when n=0and it has value of Umax=μBN(1-2n)

So the fractional change in energy is given as:

localid="1647349059847" UUmax=μBNμBN(1-2n)=(1-2n)UUmax=(1-2n)

By substituting the value of nas 0.7785in the above equation, we get,

UUmax=(1-2×0.7785)UUmax=-0.557

To achieve 99%magnetization, from equation (1), we get,

MμN=tanhμBkT=0.99μBkT=tanh-1(0.99)μBkT=2.647

Now, substitute 1.38×10-23JK-1for kand 9.26×10-24JT-1for μin the above equation, we get,

role="math" localid="1647349781971" μBkT=2.647BT=kμ×2.647BT=(1.38×10−239.26×10−24)×2.647BT=3.945TK−1

03

Final answer

Hence, the required values are calculated as:

MμN=0.557

SSmax=0.763

UUmax=−0.557

BT=3.945TK−1

In Problem 2.18 you showed that the multiplicity of an Einstein solid containing N oscillators and q energy units is approximately

Ω(N,q)≈q+Nqqq+NNN

(a) Starting with this formula, find an expression for the entropy of an Einstein solid as a function of N and q. Explain why the factors omitted from the formula have no effect on the entropy, when N and q are large.

(b) Use the result of part (a) to calculate the temperature of an Einstein solid as a function of its energy. (The energy is U=qϵ, where ϵis a constant.) Be sure to simplify your result as much as possible.

(c) Invert the relation you found in part (b) to find the energy as a function of temperature, then differentiate to find a formula for the heat capacity.

(d) Show that, in the limit T→∞, the heat capacity is C=Nk. (Hint: When x is very small, ex≈1+x.) Is this the result you would expect? Explain.

(e) Make a graph (possibly using a computer) of the result of part (c). To avoid awkward numerical factors, plot C/Nkvs. the dimensionless variable t=kT/ϵ, for t in the range from 0 to about 2. Discuss your prediction for the heat capacity at low temperature, comparing to the data for lead, aluminum, and diamond shown in Figure 1.14. Estimate the value of ϵ, in electron-volts, for each of those real solids.

(f) Derive a more accurate approximation for the heat capacity at high temperatures, by keeping terms through x3 in the expansions of the exponentials and then carefully expanding the denominator and multiplying everything out. Throw away terms that will be smaller than(ϵ/kT)2 in the final answer. When the smoke clears, you should find C=Nk1-112(ϵ/kT)2.

Sketch (or use a computer to plot) a graph of the entropy of a two-state paramagnet as a function of temperature. Describe how this graph would change if you varied the magnetic field strength.

Polymers, like rubber, are made of very long molecules, usually tangled up in a configuration that has lots of entropy. As a very crude model of a rubber band, consider a chain of N links, each of length â„“(see Figure 3.17). Imagine that each link has only two possible states, pointing either left or right. The total length L of the rubber band is the net displacement from the beginning of the first link to the end of the last link.

(a) Find an expression for the entropy of this system in terms of N and NR, the number of links pointing to the right.
(b) Write down a formula for L in terms of N and NR.
(c) For a one-dimensional system such as this, the length L is analogous to the volume V of a three-dimensional system. Similarly, the pressure P is replaced by the tension force F. Taking F to be positive when the rubber band is pulling inward, write down and explain the appropriate thermodynamic identity for this system.
(d) Using the thermodynamic identity, you can now express the tension force F in terms of a partial derivative of the entropy. From this expression, compute the tension in terms of L, T, N, and â„“.
(e) Show that when L << Nâ„“, the tension force is directly proportional to L (Hooke's law).
(f) Discuss the dependence of the tension force on temperature. If you increase the temperature of a rubber band, does it tend to expand or contract? Does this behavior make sense?
(g) Suppose that you hold a relaxed rubber band in both hands and suddenly stretch it. Would you expect its temperature to increase or decrease? Explain. Test your prediction with a real rubber band (preferably a fairly heavy one with lots of stretch), using your lips or forehead as a thermometer. (Hint: The entropy you computed in part (a) is not the total entropy of the rubber band. There is additional entropy associated with the vibrational energy of the molecules; this entropy depends on U but is approximately independent of L.)

A cylinder contains one liter of air at room temperature ( 300K) and atmospheric pressure 105N/m2. At one end of the cylinder is a massless piston, whose surface area is 0.01m2. Suppose that you push the piston in very suddenly, exerting a force of 2000N. The piston moves only one millimeter, before it is stopped by an immovable barrier of some sort.

(a) How much work have you done on this system?

(b) How much heat has been added to the gas?

(c) Assuming that all the energy added goes into the gas (not the piston or cylinder walls), by how much does the internal energy of the gas increase?

(d) Use the thermodynamic identity to calculate the change in the entropy of the gas (once it has again reached equilibrium).

An ice cube (mass 30g)0°Cis left sitting on the kitchen table, where it gradually melts. The temperature in the kitchen is 25°C.

(a) Calculate the change in the entropy of the ice cube as it melts into water at 0°C. (Don't worry about the fact that the volume changes somewhat.)

(b) Calculate the change in the entropy of the water (from the melted ice) as its temperature rises from 0°Cto 25°C.

(c) Calculate the change in the entropy of the kitchen as it gives up heat to the melting ice/water.

(d) Calculate the net change in the entropy of the universe during this process. Is the net change positive, negative, or zero? Is this what you would expect?
