Explicit expressions for inverse of Young's modulus ( ) E n , inverse of shear modulus ( ) G , n m , and Poisson's ratio ( ) ν , n m for cubic media are considered. All these characteristics of elastic media depend on components 11 S , 12 S and 44 S of the compliance tensor S , and on direction cosines of mutually perpendicular vectors n and m with fourfold symmetry axes. These characteristics are studied for all mechanically stable cubic materials for vectors n belonging to the irreducible body angle subtended by three cubic high symmetry directions
Abstract. The Curie-Weiss model is an exactly soluble model of ferromagnetism that allows one to study in detail the thermodynamic functions, in particular their properties in the neighbourhood of the critical temperature. In this model every magnetic moment interacts with every other magnetic moment. Because of its simplicity and because of the correctness of at least of some of its predictions, the CurieWeiss model occupies an important place in the statistical mechanics literature and its application to information theory. It is frequently presented as an introduction to the Ising model or to spin glass models, and usually only general features of the Curie-Weiss model are presented. We discuss here properties of this model in a rather detailed way. We present the exact, approximate and numerical results for this particular model. The exact expression for the limiting magnetic field is derived.
We report on lattice specific heat of bulk hexagonal GaN measured by the heat
flow method in the temperature range 20-300 K and by the adiabatic method in
the range 5-70 K. We fit the experimental data using two temperatures model.
The best fit with the accuracy of 3 % was obtained for the temperature
independent Debye's temperature $\theta_{\rm D}=365$ {\rm K} and Einstein's
temperature $\theta_{\rm E}=880$ {\rm K}. We relate these temperatures to the
function of density of states. Using our results for heat conduction
coefficient, we established in temperature range 10-100 K the explicit
dependence of the phonon mean free path on temperature $\it{l}_{\rm ph}\propto
T^{-2}$. Above 100 K, there is the evidence of contribution of the Umklapp
processes which limit phonon free path at high temepratures. For phonons with
energy $k_{\rm B}\times 300 $ {\rm K} the mean free path is of the order 100
