Thermodynamics of Finite Quantum Systems: Application to Spin Magnetism II

Condensed Matter 2009-10-28 v2

Abstract

We extend our study of thermodynamics of a Kubo particle to temperatures smaller than the interlevel spacing. We obtain the distribution functions of spin susceptibility and heat capacity for Poisson and Wigner-Dyson level statistics. We evaluate the line shape of the Knight shift due to spin effects both in a single particle and for the ensemble average and compare it with orbital and spin-orbit contributions.
