Tian Chen-xi
Abstract
On the basis of the probability distribution function of particle number,the Pauli paramagnetism of an ideal Fermi gas with finite number of particles is investigated by using a combination of theoretical analysis and numerical simulation.The analytical expressions of critical value of particle number and upper magnetic field are given and the effects of temperature and particle number on the paramagnetism are analyzed.It is shown that,when the temperature is close towards Fermi temperature,the difference between limit magnetic susceptibility and average magnetic susceptibility decreases.When the temperature is higher than the Fermi temperature,the resulting difference between limit magnetic susceptibility and average magnetic susceptibility increases first and then decreases with the increase of temperature.
