Riemannian geometry of the Pauli paramagnetic gas

Statistical Mechanics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We investigate the thermodynamic curvature resulting from a Riemannian geometry approach to thermodynamics for the Pauli paramagnetic gas which is a system of identical fermions each with spin 1/2. We observe that the absolute value of thermodynamic curvature can be interpreted as a measure of the stability of the considered system only in the classical and semiclassical regime. But in quantum regime some exceptions are observed.
