Consider an Ising model in the presence of an external magnetic field B, which gives each dipole an additional energy of -BB if it points up and +BB if it points down (whereB is the dipole's magnetic moment). Analyse this system using the mean field approximation to find the analogue of equation 8.50. Study the solutions of the equation graphically, and discuss the magnetisation of this system as a function of both the external field strength and the temperature. Sketch the region in the T-B plane for which the equation has three solutions.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Consider an Ising model in the presence of an external magnetic field B, which gives each dipole an additional energy of -BB if it points up and +BB if it points down (where B is the dipole's magnetic moment).

02

Explanation

Assume we have dipoles on an external magnetic field, and the energy of the interaction between the dipole and the external magnetic field is:

=B

Where,

is the dipole moment and it has two allowed magnetic orientation, hence:

=B

The total energy of the system resulting from all interactions with its nearest neighbours is:

U=-sisjB

Consider a lsing model with two dipoles. This system has four alignments, which are as follows:

:-:::-

where si =-1 when the dipole pointing down and si= l when the dipole pointing up, for two dipoles in an external magnetic field, we have two energies, that are:

E=-ns-BE=ns+B

03

Explanation

The partition function is:

Z=e-EZ=e-E+eE

Thus,

Z=e(ns+B)+e-(ns+B)Z=2cosh((ns+B))(1)

The average expected value for the spin alignment is given by (from equation 8.49):

s=1Ze(ns+B)-e-(ns+B)

Using sinh(x)=ex-e-x/2

s=2sinh((ns+B))Z

Substitute from (1):

s=2sinh((ns+B))2cosh((ns+B))s=tanh((ns+B))

When magnetic field is zero, the equation will be:

s=tanh(ns)

To plot this function, we substitute with: =1/kTcandt=kT/n

s=tanhst

we have two cases the first one when t = kT/n> 1, in this case we have only one solution and when t = kT/n<l we have three solutions, two of them are stable and the third one is unstable, as shown in the following figure (the first figure is when t>1 and the second one is when t < 1)

04

Explanation

The following codes were used to plot the graph:

When we have a non zero magnetic field, then we modify the code as follows to have the following graph:

Consider an Ising model of just two elementary dipoles, whose mutual interaction energy is . Enumerate the states of this system and write down their Boltzmann factors. Calculate the partition function. Find the probabilities of finding the dipoles parallel and antiparallel, and plot these probabilities as a function of kT/. Also calculate and plot the average energy of the system. At what temperatures are you more likely to find both dipoles pointing up than to find one up and one down?

Consider a gas of "hard spheres," which do not interact at all unless their separation distance is less than r0, in which case their interaction energy is infinite. Sketch the Mayer f-function for this gas, and compute the second virial coefficient. Discuss the result briefly.

In this problem you will use the mean field approximation to analyse the behaviour of the Ising model near the critical point.

(a) Prove that, when x1,tanhxx-13x3

(b) Use the result of part (a) to find an expression for the magnetisation of the Ising model, in the mean field approximation, when T is very close to the critical temperature. You should find MTc-T,where(not to be confused with 1/kT) is a critical exponent, analogous to the f defined for a fluid in Problem 5.55. Onsager's exact solution shows that =1/8in two dimensions, while experiments and more sophisticated approximations show that 1/3in three dimensions. The mean field approximation, however, predicts a larger value.

(c) The magnetic susceptibility is defined as (M/B)T. The behaviour of this quantity near the critical point is conventionally written as T-Tc- , where y is another critical exponent. Find the value of in the mean field approximation, and show that it does not depend on whether T is slightly above or slightly below Te. (The exact value of y in two dimensions turns out to be 7/4, while in three dimensions 1.24.)

The Ising model can be used to simulate other systems besides ferromagnets; examples include anti ferromagnets, binary alloys, and even fluids. The Ising model of a fluid is called a lattice gas. We imagine that space is divided into a lattice of sites, each of which can be either occupied by a gas molecule or unoccupied. The system has no kinetic energy, and the only potential energy comes from interactions of molecules on adjacent sites. Specifically, there is a contribution of -u0to the energy for each pair of neighbouring sites that are both occupied.

(a) Write down a formula for the grand partition function for this system, as a function of u0, T, and p.

(b) Rearrange your formula to show that it is identical, up to a multiplicative factor that does not depend on the state of the system, to the ordinary partition function for an Ising ferromagnet in the presence of an external magnetic field B, provided that you make the replacements u04and 2BB-8. (Note that is the chemical potential of the gas while uB is the magnetic moment of a dipole in the magnet.)

(c) Discuss the implications. Which states of the magnet correspond to low density states of the lattice gas? Which states of the magnet correspond to high-density states in which the gas has condensed into a liquid? What shape does this model predict for the liquid-gas phase boundary in the P-T plane?

Modify the ising program to compute the total magnetisation (that is, the sum of all the s values) for each iteration, and to tally how often each possible magnetisation value occurs during a run, plotting the results as a histogram. Run the program for a 5 x 5 lattice at a variety of temperatures, and discuss the results. Sketch a graph of the most likely magnetisation value as a function of temperature. If your computer is fast enough, repeat for a 10 x 10 lattice.
