3. Landau Theory Consider the Landaus theory of phase transition presented in the lectures.
(a) Calculate the low-field susceptibility:
0 (T ) =
m
h
.
T
(2)
= 0.
m h
Straight-forward differentiation gives
h + 2r1 tm + 4s0 m3 = 0
h ' 2r1 tm

h.
m(h) =
2r1 t
(b) First, the exponent in m|t=0 h1/ . From Eq. (3) with t 0:
1/3
h

h = 4s0 m
m=

(4)
= 3.
Second, the exponent in (m/h) t . This follows trivially from Eq. (4):
= 1.
