Negative specific heat of the Landau-quantized T-3 Dice lattice in the nondegenerate statistical regime

TL;DR

This paper investigates the thermodynamic properties of a Landau-quantized T-3 Dice lattice, revealing that its specific heat at constant volume becomes negative in the nondegenerate statistical regime, which is unusual for such systems.

Contribution

It provides the first detailed analysis of the thermodynamic behavior of Landau-quantized T-3 Dice lattices in the nondegenerate regime, highlighting the negative specific heat phenomenon.

Findings

Specific heat at constant volume is negative in the nondegenerate regime.

Thermodynamic quantities depend explicitly on temperature and magnetic field.

The study enhances understanding of thermodynamics in Landau-quantized lattice systems.

Abstract

This work addresses the statistical thermodynamic features of a Landau-quantized T-3 Dice lattice in a normal magnetic field in the nondegenerate statistical regime. Our study includes analyses of the Grand Potential, magnetic moment, entropy and specific heat at constant volume, with explicit determination of their temperature and magnetic field dependencies. In this, we find that the specific heat at constant volume is negative in the nondegenerate regime, for the Landau-quantized Dice lattice.
