Abstract
A method of calculating the free energy and thermodynamic characteristics of the classical n-vector three-dimensional magnetic model at the microscopic level without any adjustable parameters is proposed. Mathematical description is performed with the collective variables method used within the framework of the ${\ensuremath{\rho}}^{4}$ model approximation. The exponentially decreasing function of the distance between the particles situated at the N sites of a simple cubic lattice is used as the interaction potential. Explicit analytical expressions for entropy, internal energy and specific heat near the phase-transition point as functions of the temperature are obtained. The dependence of the amplitudes of the thermodynamic characteristics of the system for $T>{T}_{c}$ and $T<{T}_{c}$ on the microscopic parameters of the system are studied for the cases $n=1,2,3.$ The obtained results provide the basis for accurate analysis of the critical behavior in three dimensions including the nonuniversal characteristics of the system.
