Microstates and Macrostates Microstate example: gas system described per molecule 6N microstates (3 position, 3 velocity) Macrostate example: gas system described by overall properties Gas total energy, pressure, temperature, entropy 9 PHY3101: Chapter 10

Consider Energy Levels (Distinguishable Particles) Q = 6 units of energy shared among N = 5 particles What is the distribution of individual energies for the 5 particles? 10 macrostates: A J W =(N +Q-1)! Q!(N -1)!=10! 6!4!= 210 microstates Next slide 12 PHY3101: Chapter 10

Particle Energies: Boltzmann Energy Distribution Approximately exponential Boltzmann energy distribution. But ~exactly exponential when N ~ 1023, E huge 14 PHY3101: Chapter 10
Indistinguishable Particle Energy Distributions Major differences in counting indistinguishable particle states: Each macrostate has 1 microstate (they are indistinguishable) Spin fermions can have only 2 particles / energy level, so states with >2 particles are not possible (3 of 10 states allowed) 15 PHY3101: Chapter 10
Energy Distribution for Bosons/Fermions Bosons Fermions Easy to calculate from figure assuming 1 microstate/macrostate 16 PHY3101: Chapter 10

Density of States For a fixed set of N particles and total energy E, we determined the particle energy distribution (MB, BE, FD) But we still don t know how many energy states are between energy E and E + dE. We define the density of states g(E) g E ( )dE g(E)dE = number density of particles between E and E + dE We work this out now 19 PHY3101: Chapter 10
Density of States (2) We imagine a very large cube containing the physical system For particles to be contained in the box, the wavefunction defining the available states is nyp y L 8 L3sinnxpx sinnzpz y x,y,z ( )= sin nx,ny,nzintegers L L ( ) h2n2 8mL2 h2 2+ ny 2+ nz 2 E = 8mL2nx (These integers are enormous for macroscopic systems) 20 PHY3101: Chapter 10
