Paramagnetism In a solid of nuclei of atoms have spin one. It so happens that the nucleihas the enerfy in the state m = 1 and same energy in m = −1 state. The m = 0 state hasenergy 0. Find the nuclear contribution to the internal energy of the solid, if the solid is attemperature T.
(d) Fermions are represented by Dirac spinors and obey the Dirac equation.
The Dirac equation is (i", - m)=0 where, in the so-called chiral basis, the gamma
matrices are:
x=(-15) -
where i runs over 1,2,3 and o are the Pauli spin matrices.
