nounmagnetothermodynamics (uncountable)
- uncountablenatural sciencesthermodynamics in the presence of a magnetic field
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.
