Popis: | We explain the lambda (λ) transition in the heat capacity in terms of spin freezing on the basis of finite-sized block spin concepts. Thus, the spin-glass phase or the antiferromagnetic/paramagnetic phase near the Neel temperature may be considered as a short-range ordering of the block spins comprised of many random spins with respective majority spin directions. Using the Curie law for the block spins, we obtain the λ-type heat capacity in the lower and the higher temperature approximations of the Brillouin function. The theoretical heat capacity gives a good fit to the experimental data. |
