\section{Temperature dependence in Landau model}
|

In the Landau model, free energy is given as function of order parameter $\psi$ and temperature $T$ as
|
||||||
|
\[
|
||||||
|
\mathcal{F} = a(T - T_c) \psi^2 + \frac{\beta}{2}\psi^4.
|
||||||
|
\]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To find the equilibrium value with respect to the order parameter $\psi_0(T)$,
|
||||||
|
we need to equate the derivatives with respect to both $T$ and $\psi(T)$ to zero.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
\[
|
||||||
|
0 = \frac{\delta\mathcal{F}}{\delta\psi} = \frac{\partial \mathcal{F}}{\partial \psi} - \nabla \cdot \frac{\partial \mathcal{F}}{\partial (\nabla \psi)}
|
||||||
|
\]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Now we seek the Q = TdS, C = dQ/dT = T dS/dT
|
||||||
|
For the entropy, we know
|
||||||
|
\[
|
||||||
|
S = -\pfrac{}
|
||||||
|
\]
