Extended Curie-Weiss law: a nonextensive perspective

Abstract

In the framework of the Tsallis nonextensive statistical mechanics we study an assembly of N spins, first in a background magnetic field, and then assuming them to interact via a long-range homogeneous mean field. To take into account the spin fluctuations the dynamical field coefficient is considered to be linearly dependent on the temperature. The physical quantities are evaluated using a perturbative expansion in the nonextensivity parameter (1-q). The extended Curie-Weiss law in the mean field case has been generalized. The critical temperature and the Curie- Weiss constant are found to be dependent on the nonextensivity parameter (1-q).
