The magnetic properties (phase diagram, magnetization curve, spin correlation functions, internal energy and magnetic specific heat) of a decorated ferrimagnetic square lattice composed of three magnetic atoms are investigated on the basis of the differential technique. The system can show many...

We study the thermodynamics of metals by applying q-deformed algebras. We shall mainly focus our attention on q-deformed Sommerfeld parameter as a function of q-deformed electronic specific heat. The results revealed that q-deformation acts as a factor of disorder or impurity, modifying the...

Using Monte Carlo techniques, the two-dimensional site-diluted Ising model is studied. In particular, properties of the specific heat, its critical behaviour and the emergence of a non-singular maximum above the transition temperature at moderate concentration of defects, are discussed.

We investigate finite-temperature properties of chiral XY model on a one-dimensional lattice with an external magnetic field and a uniaxial potential by solving numerically the integral equation. We calculate the internal energy, the free energy, the winding number, the magnetization, the...

Taking into account the random scatterings due to random eigenfrequencies and random hopping matrices, we obtain the correlation functions for phonon and sound density fluctuations, which yield three and one entropy fluctuation modes at high frequencies, and three and one thermal conductivity at...

In this paper we calculate the constant pressure specific heat response of a water model with a liquid–liquid critical point. We show how, due to the existence of the critical point, there is a secondary maximum in the specific heat at some temperature T*Th for any pressure PPc, being Th the...

A theoretical study of a mixed spin Ising system consisting of spin-1/2 and spin-1 with a random field is studied by the use of the finite cluster approximation within the framework of a single-site cluster theory. In this approach, the phase diagrams and magnetizations are investigated for the...

The specific heat and temperature dependence of magnetizations in transverse Ising thin films are investigated by the use of the standard mean-field theory and the effective-field theory with correlations. The exchange interaction and transverse field at the surfaces take values different from...

An established unified theory of the liquid–glass transition in one-component liquids is extended to multi-component liquids. The universal features such as the Kauzmann paradox, the Vogel–Tamman–Fulcher (VTF) law on the relaxation times and the transport coefficients, the jump of the...

The accurate determination of the thermal properties of biomass materials is particularly important when studying biomass combustion processes. This paper reports a method for the determination of the maximum sampling error and the confidence intervals of thermal properties obtained from...
