Fluctuations and the magnetic equation of state

Czechoslovak Journal of Physics B Aims and scope

Abstract

The influence of inhomogeneity of magnetization on the equation of state for a magnetic system has been considered in the approximation of homogeneous fluctuations of magnetic moment. The fluctuations have been described in the molecular field approximation. It has been shown that taking into account the fluctuations of magnetic moment at the derivation of the equation of state changes the relation among the variablesM, H andT, the temperature dependence of the spontaneous magnetization near the critical point, and shifts the critical temperature.
