modynamic stability requirements for the generalized one-component system without engaging any hypothe-
ses. The conditions are obtained, where these relations are fulfilled as equalities. The outcomes are applied

for cerium the corresponding relations are fulfilled as equalities. It is also shown, that the equilibrium curve

1. Introduction
One of the problems of the modern phenomenological theory of a critical state is the establi-
shment of universal relations between critical exponents in the vicinity of the critical point. These
relations are obtained by various methods, often by using various hypotheses. Naturally the fol-
lowing question arises: how can these relations be obtained based on the general thermodynamic
method? In [1] it was shown, that the basic relations between the critical exponents (for example,
the relations by Griffiths, Rushbrooke, Coopersmith etc.) follow from the first principles, from
general aspects of the thermodynamic stability theory without engaging any hypotheses.
The new results are obtained in the suggested consideration by means of the thermodynamic
method of stability [1] for the generalized homogeneous system. They were used for the investigation
of the asymptotical behavior of metal cerium. Therefore we shall focus on some general aspects
of the thermodynamic stability theory [2,3], which are indispensable for further consideration, as
well as perform a few mathematical transformations.
2. Elements of the stability theory. Some relations
Let us consider the generalized one-component homogeneous system in the state determined
by the internal energy U = U(S, x) , where S is the entropy, x is a generalized thermodynamic
variable, and T and X are the corresponding thermodynamic forces.
The stability of such a system is determined by the well-known requirements [3]:

The value D, following Semenchenko V.K. [3], is called the determinant of stability, and the
derivatives in it are the adiabatic parameters (the AP’s); the parameters
(
∂T
∂S
)
x
,
(
∂X

)
S
are the
adiabatic stability coefficients (the ASC’s). The parameters

(

the constant thermodynamic forces, are the isodynamic parameters (the IP’s).
The following relation between the AP’s, the IP’s and D is obtained as the result of Jacobian
properties:

3. Some relations between the critical exponents
Let us consider the asymptotic behavior of the thermodynamic parameters upon approachi-
ng the critical point. We introduce the critical exponents of thermodynamic parameters, which
determine the system stability considering the AP’s and the IP’s features as different.

Let us emphasize, that the introduced exponents µ and µ1 are more natural for thermodynamic
stability consideration, than the order parameter exponent β. They enable us to consider the
asymptotical behavior in the subcritical and supercritical regions. The relation between the AP’s
exponents can be derived by means of asymptotics (5) from the stability conditions (1):
α1 + γ1 6 2µ1 . (6)
116
Some features of metal cerium asymptotical behavior
Using (2) and (5) we obtain the relation for the IP’s critical exponents:
α + γ > 2µ. (7)
Relations (6) and (7) are the most general form of relations and determine the correspondence
between the AP’s and the IP’s critical exponents for the subcritical (the primed exponents below)
and the supercritical vicinity of the critical point. These relations connect the basic thermodynamic
parameters. For example, (6) connects the exponents for the isochoric heat capacity, the adiabatic
compressibility and thermal broadening connect the exponents for the P −V −T systems. Relation
(7) binds the critical exponents for isobaric heat capacity, isothermal compressibility, and isobaric
thermal broadening.
A significant task for the modern critical exponent phenomenological theory is to obtain equali-
ties in the relations between the critical exponents. Thermodynamic hypothesis, which is based
on the scaling law hypothesis (i.e., static scaling law hypothesis), leads to the equalities between
the critical exponents [4]. This hypothesis is based on the assumption that the thermodynamic
potentials are generalized homogeneous functions. This assumption results in the transformation
of inequalities between critical exponents into equalities. Besides, the hypothesis leads to equalities
between the critical exponents above the critical point and below it (symmetry between the critical
exponents). A logical question arises regarding the condition, for which relations (6) and (7) are
changed to equalities from the viewpoint of general requirements of the stability theory.
Let us approach the critical point, using asymptotics (5). Then from relations (4) it follows
α − α1 = γ − γ1 > 0, α1 + γ = µ + µ1, α + γ1 = µ + µ1. (8)
These relations connect the AP’s and the IP’s exponents and they are correct independently of
the product
(
∂T

)−1
X
(
−∂T

)
S
. Its value is essential for obtaining the following results.
The limit value of this product is

)
S
(
∂T

)

> 0.
For C we have two possibilities:
1. If C 6= ∞, then µ < µ1. According to (4), (5) we obtain
α = α1, γ = γ1, α + γ = µ + µ1 > 2µ . (9)
2. If C = ∞, then µ > µ1 and according to (4), (5) we obtain
1
2
(γ − α) =
1
2
(γ1 − α1) = γ − µ = γ1 − µ1 = µ − α = µ1 − α1 ,
α − α1 = γ − γ1 = µ − µ1 > 0,
α + γ = 2µ, α1 + γ1 = 2µ1 . (10)
Within the framework of thermodynamics, it appears possible to describe two possibilities: the
states with µ > µ1, for which α + γ = 2µ, α1 + γ1 = 2µ1 with fulfilling the relations (10), and the
states with µ < µ1, for which α + γ > 2µ, α1 + γ1 6 2µ1 and relations (9) are true.
As it will be seen hereinafter, the concrete definition of practicability of these both cases is
determined by the critical behavior type of the thermodynamic systems [5]. The existence of four
alternative types of critical behavior has been established in paper [5] based on the critical state
definition by means of a set of homogeneous linear equations and the analysis of the critical state
stability conditions. The types of behavior are classified by the value of an equilibrium curve slope
at the critical point Kc and by one of the ASC’s – either
(
∂T

)

or
(
∂X
∂x
)

.

4. The asymptotical behavior of metal cerium
The outcomes can be applied to the vicinity of the isomorphic γ −α transition critical point in
the metal cerium. It is necessary to consider the pressure P as the generalized thermodynamic force
X , and the volume V as the coordinate x for cerium under pressure. From the thermodynamic
standpoint, cerium is a homogeneous one-component P − V − T system.
The critical properties of cerium have been researched in detail in papers [6,7] during the
investigation of perfected models [9, 10]. It was shown, that the adiabatic stability coefficient
(
∂T
∂S
)
V
= T
CV
is unequal to zero. Besides, the critical slope for cerium is finite Kc 6= {0,∞} in the
P − T phase diagram [8,9]. Therefore, the critical properties of cerium relate to the first type of
critical behavior according to thermodynamic classification [5]. In paper [5] it was shown, that for
the first type of critical behavior all the AP’s are finite and nonzero, and all the IP’s tend to zero
by the same law. In terms of (5) it means that α1 = µ1 = γ1; α = µ = γ. The calculations,
performed in [6], have shown, that α1 = µ1 = γ1 = 0 , and α = µ = γ = 1. I.e., for cerium in the
vicinity of the critical point µ > µ1 and this is the case when the relations (6) and (7) are fulfilled
as equalities as well as the relations (10) are satisfied.
It is necessary to note that the above result is derived based on the stability conditions only,
without engaging any hypotheses.
Let us consider the equalities fulfilling between the critical exponents for T → T−
c and T → T +
c ,
i.e. the symmetry conditions fulfilling between the critical exponents.
From the thermodynamic point of view this question is connected with the condition for trans-
formation of the phase equilibrium curve in the subcritical region into the lowered stability curve
in the supercritical region. Let us note that one of the basic ideas of the thermodynamic method of
the critical state investigation [5] is the binding of subcritical and supercritical system properties at
the critical point. According to [3] the supercritical phase properties also remain above the critical
point. It leads to passing the stability characteristics through the finite dips (the lowered stability
region). The minima positions of the stability characteristics are called the lowered stability curve
(quasispinodal) [3]. Exactly such a behavior of stability characteristics for cerium is described in
papers [6,7] based on the computations for models [9,10].
It is logical to suppose, that the symmetry between critical exponents will take place, if the
phase equilibrium curve continuously passes into the lowered stability curve (quasispinodal).
Let us find the quasispinodal equation. Consider the ordinary one-component system under the
pressure P . The stability determinant of such a system is
D(S, V ) =
∂(T,−P )
∂(S, V )

For the quasispinodal dD = 0 and the following condition is satisfied

V

)
S
,
∂2P
∂S2

.
Substituting the condition (11) into (12), we have: df = 0 , i.e. for the P−T plane the quasispinodal
equation is
dT
dP
= f(S, V ) = const.
Therefore, the quasispinodal in the P−T plane is a straight line for any ordinary one-component
P − V − T system, including the supercritical region of cerium.
It is known [8–11], that the P − T phase diagram of cerium has the feature that the phase
equilibrium curve is a straight line. So, it is natural to expect a symmetry between the critical ex-
ponents, if in the P −T phase diagram the phase equilibrium curve and quasispinodal continuously
transforms one into another (without a break) at the critical point.
Indeed, according to the experiment [8] and to the models [9,10], the equilibrium curve of γ−
and α− phases is a straight line with the slope dT/dP = 24.5 grad/kbar which is also kept at the
critical point. It is evident from the model [9], that the quasispinodal is also a straight line with
the slope dT/dP = 24.5 grad/kbar.
Moreover, the critical exponents for the IP’s and AP’s have been found [6] for T → T−
c , and
T → T +
c . It was shown, that α = γ = µ = 1 (for T → T +
c ); α′ = γ′ = µ′ = 1 (for T → T−
c );
α1 = γ1 = µ1 = 0 (for T → T +
c ); α′
1 = γ′
1 = µ′
1 = 0 (for T → T−
c ). Thus α = α′, α1 = α′
1; γ =
γ′, γ1 = γ′
1; µ = µ′, µ1 = µ′
1. This result enables us to conclude the existence of a symmetry
between the corresponding exponents.
Hence, the available model and experimental data of the isomorphic γ −α transition in cerium
are well agreed with the above-developed theoretical approach.
5. Conclusions
The obtained results can be reduced to the following
1. The relations between the critical exponents of isodynamic and adiabatic parameters have
been obtained. They may be divided into two groups (9), (10) by the value of exponents
µ and µ1 . It is shown, that the strong equalities correspond to the case µ > µ1, and the
inequalities correspond to the case µ < µ1 .
2. Due to the realization of the first type of critical behavior by thermodynamic classification
of critical states, the condition µ > µ1 is satisfied and the relations (6), (7) are fulfilled as
equalities for the metal cerium.

3. It is shown, that the lowered stability curve in the P − T phase diagram is a straight line.
4. In the metal cerium the phase equilibrium curve of the isomorphic γ − α transition passes
continuously into the lowered stability curve (quasispinodal), which causes the symmetry
between the critical exponents. This is confirmed by the experiment and models.
5. The obtained results correspond to the conclusions of the static scaling law hypothesis without
engaging the hypothesis of homogeneous function for the potentials.
