THERMODYNAMICS AND PHASE-TRANSITIONS IN THE OVERHAUSER MODEL Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • We analyze the thermodynamics of the Overhauser model and demonstrate rigorously the existence of a phase transition. This is achieved by extending techniques previously developed to treat the BCS model in the quasi-spin formulation. Additionally, we compare the thermodynamics of the quasi-spin and full-trace BCS models. The results are identical up to a temperature rescaling. 1989 Plenum Publishing Corporation.
