A ferromagnet is a material (like iron) that magnetizes spontaneously, even in the absence of an externally applied magnetic field. This happens because each elementary dipole has a strong tendency to align parallel to its neighbors. At t=0the magnetization of a ferromagnet has the maximum possible value, with all dipoles perfectly lined up; if there are Natoms, the total magnetization is typically~2eN, where 碌a is the Bohr magneton. At somewhat higher temperatures, the excitations take the form of spin waves, which can be visualized classically as shown in Figure 7.30. Like sound waves, spin waves are quantized: Each wave mode can have only integer multiples of a basic energy unit. In analogy with phonons, we think of the energy units as particles, called magnons. Each magnon reduces the total spin of the system by one unit of h21rand therefore reduces the magnetization by ~2e. However, whereas the frequency of a sound wave is inversely proportional to its wavelength, the frequency of a spin-wave is proportional to the square of 1.. (in the limit of long wavelengths). Therefore, since=hfand p=h.. for any "particle," the energy of a magnon is proportional

In the ground state of a ferromagnet, all the elementary dipoles point in the same direction. The lowest-energy excitations above the ground state are spin waves, in which the dipoles precess in a conical motion. A long-wavelength spin wave carries very little energy because the difference in direction between neighboring dipoles is very small.

to the square of its momentum. In analogy with the energy-momentum relation for an ordinary nonrelativistic particle, we can write =p22pm*, wherem* is a constant related to the spin-spin interaction energy and the atomic spacing. For iron, m* turns out to equal 1.241029kg, about14times the mass of an electron. Another difference between magnons and phonons is that each magnon ( or spin-wave mode) has only one possible polarization.

(a) Show that at low temperatures, the number of magnons per unit volume in a three-dimensional ferromagnet is given by

NmV=22mkTh2320xex-1dx.

Evaluate the integral numerically.

(b) Use the result of part (a) to find an expression for the fractional reduction in magnetization, (M(O)-M(T))/M(O).Write your answer in the form (T/To)32, and estimate the constantT0for iron.

(c) Calculate the heat capacity due to magnetic excitations in a ferromagnet at low temperature. You should find Cv/Nk=(T/Ti)32, where Tidiffers from To only by a numerical constant. EstimateTifor iron, and compare the magnon and phonon contributions to the heat capacity. (The Debye temperature of iron is 470k.)

(d) Consider a two-dimensional array of magnetic dipoles at low temperature. Assume that each elementary dipole can still point in any (threedimensional) direction, so spin waves are still possible. Show that the integral for the total number of magnons diverge in this case. (This result is an indication that there can be no spontaneous magnetization in such a two-dimensional system. However, in Section 8.2we will consider a different two-dimensional model in which magnetization does occur.)

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) step 1: Given Information 

We need to find the number of magnons per unit volume in a three-dimensional ferromagnet is given.

02

Part (a) step 2: Simplify

The number of magnons equal the sum of Planck distribution all over the modes nx,nyand nzmultiplied by the factor of 1because we have two polarization modes, that is:

Nm=nxnynzn-P1=nx,ny,nzn-Pl

but,

n-Pl=1e/kT1

where,

=p22m

consider we have a cubic box with volume of and side width of , the allowed momenta for magnons is given by:

p=h=hn2L

therefore,

=h2n28mL2

substitute into the above equation to get:

Nm=nz,ny,nz1eh2n2/8mL2kT1

now we need to change the sum to an integral in spherical coordinates, by multiplying this by the spherical integration factor n2sin()so we get:

Nm=0/2d0/2sind0n2eh2n2/8mL2kT1dn

the first two integrals are easy to evaluate, and they give a factor of /2so:

localid="1650306816172" Nm=20n2eh2n2/8mL2kT1dn

now let,

localid="1650306825074" x=h2n28mL2kTn=8mL2kTxh2dn=2mL2kTh21xdx

thus,

localid="1650306839587" Nm=201ex12mL2kTh28mL2kTxh21xdx

localid="1650306845592" Nm=22mL2kTh23/20xex1dx

but the volume is given as localid="1650306851531" V=L3therefore:

localid="1650306857173" Nm=2V2mkTh23/20xex1dx

using we can find the integral numerically, the code is shown in the following picture and the value of the integral is localid="1650306864643" 2.3152, therefore:

localid="1650306870482" Nm=22.3152V2mkTh23/2

03

Part (b) step 1: Given Information 

We need to find an expression for the fractional reduction in magnetization.

04

Part (b) step 2: Simplify 

The total magnetization at the temperature of T=0is 2BNeach magnon reduces the total magnetization by a value of 2Bthen the fractional reduction in the magnetization is:

M0MTM0=2BNm2BN=NmN

substitute from the result of part (a) to get:

M0MTM0=22.3152VN2mkTh23/2=TT022.3152VN2mkTh23/2=TT03/2

solve for T0, we get:

TT0=22.3152VN2/32mkTh2T0=122.3152NV2/3h22mk

now we need to find this value for iron, the volume of one mole of iron is

V=7.11106m3and the number of atoms in one mole of iron is N=6.0221023the mass of the iron atom is m=1.241029kgsubstituted with these values to get:

T0=122.31526.02210237.11106m32/36.6261034Js221.241029kg1.381023J/K

T0=4152K

05

Part (c) step 1: Given Information 

We need to find the magnon and phonon contributions to the heat capacity.

06

Part (c) step 2: Simplify

To find the heat capacity we first need to find the total energy, in the same way of finding Nm,but we must multiply the distribution with, that is:

U=nxnynzn-Pl=nz,ny,nzn-Pl

but,

n-Pl=1e/kT1

where,

=p22m

consider we have a cubic box with volume of and side width of , the allowed momenta for magnons is given by:

p=h=hn2L

therefore,

localid="1650306911538" =h2n28mL2

substitute into the above equation to get:

localid="1650306915837" U=h28mL2nx,ny,nzn2eh2n2/8mL2kT1

now we need to change the sum to an integral in spherical coordinates, by multiplying this by the spherical integration factor localid="1650306922250" n2sin()so we get:

localid="1650306926387" U=h28mL20/2d0/2sind0n4eh2n2/8mL2kT1dn

he first two integrals are easy to evaluate, and they give a factor of localid="1650306933758" /2, so:

localid="1650306941435" U=h28mL220n4eh2n2/8mL2kT1dn

now let,

localid="1650306949525" x=h2n28mL2kTn=8mL2kTxh2dn=2mL2kTh21xdx

thus,

localid="1650306955308" U=h28mL228mL2kTxh220x2ex12mL2kTh21xdxU=2V2mkTh23/2kT0x3/2ex1dx

using we can find the integral numerically, the code is shown in the following picture and the value of the integral is localid="1650306961001" 1.7833therefore:

localid="1650306967244" U=21.7833V2mh23/2k5/2T5/2

now to find the heat capacity we diffrentiate the total energy with respect to localid="1650306974153" T, that is:

localid="1650306980247" CV=UT=T21.7833V2mh23/2k5/2T5/2

localid="1650306985176" CV=51.7833V2mh23/2k5/2T3/2

we can write the heat capacity as follow:

CVNk=TT13/2

where

1T13/2=51.7833VN2mkh23/21T1=51.7833VN2mkh23/22/31T1=51.7833VN2/32mkh2T1=151.7833NV2/3h22mk

but,

T0(22.3152)2/3=1NV2/3h22mk

therefore:

T1=22.315251.78332/3T0

substitute with T0to get:

T1=22.315251.78332/34152K=2682.5KT1=2682.5K

07

Part (d) step 1: Given Information 

We need to find the integral for the total number of magnons that diverge.

08

Part (d) step 2: Simplify

For two dimensional array, we can write the number as:

Nm=nz,ny1e/kT1

now we need to change the sum to an integral in polar coordinates, by multiplying this by the polar integration factor (nd),(dn)so we get:

Nm=20ne/kT1dn

change the integral to be in x, that is

Nm0nex1dx

near x=0we can expand the exponential using ex=1+xso we get:

Nm011+x1dxNm01xdx

but the integration of1/xislnxso the number diverge at the lower limit(0).
