Grand-canonical spin susceptibility of a half-filled single level

ID: grand-canonical-spin-susceptibility-of-a-half-filled-single-level

One noninteracting spatial orbital with two spin energies , in the grand canonical ensemble with mean occupation one, has chemical potential for every positive temperature. Its spin population difference is , giving total-moment response at zero field. Empty and doubly occupied orbital states are permitted. Fixing exactly one Electron instead leaves only the two singly occupied states and gives . The factor of two is an ensemble effect in this small system.
