1. (i) Paramagnetism: Consider a crystal which has an assembly of N non-interacting ions of spin '/2 in a static uniform applied magnetic field H at a temperature T. Make use of your what you learned in statistical mechanics (a) What is the energy of the system? (b) Find the average magnetic moment and the total magnetization assuming the system is in thermal equilibrium with a temperature T. (c) Find the mean square fluctuation of magnetization ((AM)?) = (M2) - (M)2 . Note the fluctuation in magnetization is AM = M - (M). (d) Show that the mean square fluctuation of magnetization is related to the magnetic susceptibility through the relation ((AM)>) = (25-) x where x = (- a
