Problem

Draw the phase diagram, in the BeB_e--TT plane, for a simple ferromagnet; assume no magnetocrystalline anisotropy and assume the external field BeB_e to be always parallel to a fixed axis in space. What is the slope of the coexistence curve? Explain this slope in terms of the Clapeyron equation.
