This is Abhijit Guria from T.I.F.R.

I will be working on Curie-Weiss Law http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curie-Weiss_law

Plan:

___________________________________________________________________________

1. Putting summary of the following concepts referred to by the existing page to make the page more self-contained:

- magnetic susceptibility - ferromagnet - paramagnetic region - Curie point - Spontaneous magnetization - Mean field approximation

2. Listing some of the classical approaches to magnetic susceptibility and pointing out their limitation using Bohr–van Leeuwen theorem.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohr%E2%80%93van_Leeuwen_theorem

3. Furnishing the details of the derivation of the Curie Law using the density matrix of a 2-state system and Von Neumann's equation (as done in the class during lecture 5).

4. Explanation of para and diamagnetism using perturbation theory:

5. Adding spin-spin interaction in the Hamiltonian: Ising model
