Abstract

In real paramagnets, there is always a subtle many-body contribution to the system's energy, which can be regarded as a small effective local magnetic field BlocB_{loc}. Usually, it is neglected, since it is very small when compared with thermal fluctuations and/or external magnetic fields BB. Nevertheless, as both the temperature TT \rightarrow 0K and BB \rightarrow 0T, such many-body contributions become ubiquitous. Here, employing the magnetic Gr\"uneisen parameter Γmag\Gamma_{mag} and entropy arguments, we report on the pivotal role played by the mutual interactions in the regime of ultra-low-TT and vanishing BB. Our key results are: ii) absence of a genuine zero-field quantum phase transition due to the presence of BlocB_{loc}; iiii) connection between the canonical definition of temperature and Γmag\Gamma_{mag}; and iiiiii) possibility of performing adiabatic magnetization by only manipulating the mutual interactions. Our findings unveil unprecedented aspects emerging from the mutual interactions.
