We investigate the thermodynamic curvature resulting from a Riemannian geometry approach to thermodynamics for the Pauli paramagnetic gas which is a system of identical fermions each with spin 1 / 2, and also for classical ideal paramagnetic gas. We find that both the curvature of classical ideal paramagnetic gas and the curvature of the Pauli gas in the classical limit reduce to that of a two-component ideal gas. On the other hand, it is seen straightforwardly that the curvature of classical gas satisfies the geometrical equation exactly. Also a simple relationship between the curvature of Pauli gas and the correlation volume is obtained. We see that it is only in the classical and semiclassical regime that the absolute value of the thermodynamic curvature can be interpreted as a measure of the stability of the system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
