Extension of the Bloch T^3/2^ Law to Magnetic Nanostructures: Bose-Einstein Condensation

Abstract
The Bloch spin-wave T law for the temperature dependence of magnetization 3/2 is one of the most fundamental in the theory of ferromagnetism. An experimental upturn (break in slope) from the T law in the magnetization has 3/2 been observed in nanostructured ferromagnets. It is shown that the introduction of a system s chemical potential and the assumption of a Bose-Einstein BE condensation at a temperature T, into the traditional theory leading to Bloch s T law yields the observed upturn in the magnetization. This is the first direct 3/2 evidence of the effect of the chemical potential on the density of magnons.Citation
