Consider an Ising model of just two elementary dipoles, whose mutual interaction energy is ± E. 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/ E. 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?
There is a one-dimensional solid lattice with two basis atoms of mass m and M, respectively (lattice constant = a). Let the interaction between atoms act only on adjacent atoms, and let the bonding force coefficient be C (Fig.). M C C a a) Draw the Brillouin zone and the approximate phonon dispersion w=w(K), and write the name of each phonon branch b) When K = TT/a, write down the normal mode energy and discuss the relative motion of adjacent atoms. c) If two atoms are of the same kind (m = M), plot the Brillouin %3D zone and phonon dispersion w=w(K).
