Abstract

Expressions for the density of states D(E)D(E), where D(E)D(E) is the number of states of energy EE, are well known. The present paper offers the expressions for generalized density of states DN(E,m)D_N(E,m), where DN(E,m)D_N(E,m) is the number of states with energy EE and magnetization mm in a one-dimensional NN-spin chain. The expressions obtained here can be considered as reference ones, since all the main characteristics were obtained without them: using the transfer matrix technique or using well-known expressions for the density of states D(E)=mDN(E,m)D(E)=\sum_m{D_N(E,m)}. Nevertheless, the knowledge of quantity DN(E,m)D_N(E,m) helps to understand the model properties and allows the analysis of the temporal behavior of magnetization m=m(τ)m=m(\tau). In particular, we demonstrate that in a one-dimensional model spontaneous magnetization can be observed at a non-zero temperature. However, the spontaneous magnetization can randomly change its sign, which results in the magnetization averaged over a very long observation period becoming zero m(τ)\langle m(\tau)\rangle.
