Low temperature Thermodynamics in the Context of Dissipative Diamagnetism

Abstract

We revisit here the effect of quantum dissipation on the much - studied problem of Landau diamagnetism, and analyze the results in the light of the third law of thermodynamics. The case of an additional parabolic potential is separately assessed. We find that dissipation arising from strong coupling of the system to its environment qualitatively alters the low-temperature thermodynamic attributes such as the entropy and the specific heat.
