Depending on the particle spin, the polarized ground state will generally be degenerate with other states, but one can specify the exact degeneracy. For T>0 the magnetization and susceptibility necessarily exceed that of a pure paramagnet. These results are relevant to recent experiments exploring the relation between triplet superconductivity and ferromagnetism, and the Bose-Einstein condensation of atoms with spin. They eliminate the possibility, raised in some theoretical speculations, that the ground state or positive temperature state might be antiferromagnetic.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v4", "updated": "2002-10-31T10:23:38.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "interacting bosons", "polarization", "explicit spin-dependent forces", "many-body interaction potential", "triplet superconductivity" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
