[edit]Etymology
[edit]From magneto- + thermodynamics.
Noun
[edit]magnetothermodynamics (uncountable)
- (physics) thermodynamics in the presence of a magnetic field
- 2015, V. S. Maryasin, M. E. Zhitomirsky, R. Moessner, “Low-field behavior of an XY pyrochlore antiferromagnet: emergent clock anisotropies”, in arXiv[1]:
- In addition to a fluctuation-induced six-fold anisotropy present in zero field, an external magnetic field induces a combination of two-, three-, and six-fold clock terms as a function of its orientation providing for a rich and controllable magnetothermodynamics.
