Non-extensive thermodynamics of transition-metal nanoclusters☆

Abstract: In recent years, much study has been made by applying the non-extensive statistics (NES) to various non-extensive systems where the entropy and/or energy are not necessarily proportional to the number of their constituent subsystems. The non-extensivity may be realized in many systems such as physical, chemical and biological ones, and also in small-scale nanosystems.After briefly reviewing the recent development in nanomagnetism and the NES, I have discussed, in this article, NES calculations of thermodynamic… Show more

“…Although (c) normalized MEM [30] with the q-average was adopted in our previous papers [55-58,79], we have employed in the present study, (a) original MEM with the normal average [28,73]. In Appendix A, thermodynamical quantities of the entropy, specific heat and susceptibility calculated by (a) original MEM [28,73] with the normal average are summarized and compared to the previous ones obtained by (c) normalized MEM [30] with the q-average [55][56][57][58]79]. In Appendix B the NES with (a) original MEM [28,73] is applied also to Heisenberg dimers.…”

“…The Boltzmann distribution function, as mentioned above, provides a valid approximation only under certain assumptions for equilibrium thermodynamic [25,39,40]. While it allows a relatively accurate description of macroscopic systems in which a very large number of stochastic events take place, when one goes to smaller scales for instance, such a description breaks down [41].…”

“…Small systems are ideal components for these uses because they present very high surface to volume ratios [1], but the consequences of the OPEN ACCESS progress in small system design and synthesis have pointed out the importance of scale-related properties, often different from the macroscopic ones [2].…”
