Abstract

critical phenomena thermodynamics j−j coupling spin systems hamiltonians
The thermodynamic critical properties of a simple class of pseudospin model Hamiltonians are discussed. This class of models includes the spin van der Waals model and the Meshkov–Glick–Lipkin model as particular cases. Second‐order thermodynamic phase transitions occur when the spin–spin interaction contributes negatively in a particular direction and the linear interaction term is orthogonal to the direction(s) of greatest energy gain through the spin–spin interaction.
