Abstract

According to Boltzmann-Gibbs (BG) statistical mechanics, the thermodynamic response, such as the isothermal susceptibility, at critical points (CPs) presents a divergent-like behavior. An appropriate parameter to probe both classical and quantum CPs is the so-called Gr\"uneisen ratio Γ\Gamma. Motivated by the results reported in Phys. Rev. B 108\textbf{108}, L140403 (2023), we extend the quantum version of Γ\Gamma to the non-additive qq-entropy SqS_q. Our findings indicate that using SqS_q at the unique value of qq restoring the extensivity of the entropy, Γ\Gamma is universally non-diverging at CPs. We unprecedentedly introduce Γ\Gamma in terms of SqS_q, being BG recovered for q1q \rightarrow 1. We thus solve a long-standing problem related to the illusory\textit{illusory} diverging susceptibilities at CPs.
