New cards

What is the goal of stat-thermo

To predict macroscopic thermodynamics of a bulk material from our knowledge of molecular interactions

2
New cards

What is a Fermion

half integer spin, obey Pauli exclusion principle.

electrons, neutrons, protons

3
New cards

What is a Boson

Force carrying particle, photons

4
New cards

What does the boltzman distribution do

gives the most probable population of particles in each energy level at a given temperature

<p>gives the most probable population of particles in each energy level at a given temperature</p>
5
New cards

Why is the boltzman distribution important

Converts from microscopic quantum states to macroscopic thermodynamic properties

energy levels -> e,h,s,cp,k_p

6
New cards

What is a partition function

weighted sum over all available energy states

"A measure of the average number of excited states"

<p>weighted sum over all available energy states</p><p>"A measure of the average number of excited states"</p>

Higher energy states in the partition function are...

suppressed by the boltzmann factor
