Imagine that there exists a third type of particle, which can share a single-particle state with one other particle of the same type but no more. Thus the number of these particles in any state can be 0,1 or 2 . Derive the distribution function for the average occupancy of a state by particles of this type, and plot the occupancy as a function of the state's energy, for several different temperatures.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The distribution function for the average occupancy of a state by given types of particles is derived.

The graph is as follows,

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given Information 

We are given a particle that can share a single-particle state with one other particle of the same type but no more and the number of these particles in any state can be 0,1or 2.

02

Step 2. Grand partition function

The grand partition function or Gibbs sum is,

Z=ne-n(-)kT

According to the given problem, the number of particles of third type in any state can be 0,1or 2. That is n can be 0,1or2.

Z=n=02exp-n(-)kTZ=exp(0)+exp-(-)kT+exp-2(-)kTZ=1+exp-(-)kT+exp-2(-)kT

03

Step 3. Probability of n- particals

Let x=exp-(-)kT,

Z=1+x+x2

The probability of state being occupied by n-particles is,

P(n)=1Zexp-n(-)kT=1ZxnP(n)=xn1+x+x2

Step 4. Average occupancy of state by particles 

The average occupancy of state by particles of this type is,

n=n=02nP(n)=0P(0)+1P(1)+2P(2)=1x11+x+x2+2x21+x+x2n=x+2x21+x+x2

So, the distribution function for the number of these particles in any state can be 0,1or 2is,

n=x+2x21+x+x2x=exp-(-)kT

05

Step 5. Graphing the occupancy as a function of the state's energy 

The graph is as follows,

The argument given above for why CvTdoes not depend on the details of the energy levels available to the fermions, so it should also apply to the model considered in Problem 7.16: a gas of fermions trapped in such a way that the energy levels are evenly spaced and non-degenerate.

(a) Show that, in this model, the number of possible system states for a given value of q is equal to the number of distinct ways of writing q as a sum of positive integers. (For example, there are three system states for q = 3, corresponding to the sums 3, 2 + 1, and 1 + 1 + 1. Note that 2 + 1 and 1 + 2 are not counted separately.) This combinatorial function is called the number of unrestricted partitions of q, denoted p(q). For example, p(3) = 3.

(b) By enumerating the partitions explicitly, compute p(7) and p(8).

(c) Make a table of p(q) for values of q up to 100, by either looking up the values in a mathematical reference book, or using a software package that can compute them, or writing your own program to compute them. From this table, compute the entropy, temperature, and heat capacity of this system, using the same methods as in Section 3.3. Plot the heat capacity as a function of temperature, and note that it is approximately linear.

(d) Ramanujan and Hardy (two famous mathematicians) have shown that when q is large, the number of unrestricted partitions of q is given approximately by

p(q)e2q343q

Check the accuracy of this formula for q = 10 and for q = 100. Working in this approximation, calculate the entropy, temperature, and heat capacity of this system. Express the heat. capacity as a series in decreasing powers of kT/, assuming that this ratio is large and keeping the two largest terms. Compare to the numerical results you obtained in part (c). Why is the heat capacity of this system independent of N, unlike that of the three dimensional box of fermions discussed in the text?

Starting from the formula for CV derived in Problem 7.70(b), calculate the entropy, Helmholtz free energy, and pressure of a Bose gas for T<Tc. Notice that the pressure is independent of volume; how can this be the case?

Figure 7.37 shows the heat capacity of a Bose gas as a function of temperature. In this problem you will calculate the shape of this unusual graph.

(a) Write down an expression for the total energy of a gas of Nbosons confined to a volume V, in terms of an integral (analogous to equation 7.122).

(b) For T<Tcyou can set =0. Evaluate the integral numerically in this case, then differentiate the result with respect to Tto obtain the heat capacity. Compare to Figure 7.37.

(c) Explain why the heat capacity must approach 32Nkin the high- Tlimit.

(d) For T>Tcyou can evaluate the integral using the values of calculated in Problem 7.69. Do this to obtain the energy as a function of temperature, then numerically differentiate the result to obtain the heat capacity. Plot the heat capacity, and check that your graph agrees with Figure 7.37.

Figure 7.37. Heat capacity of an ideal Bose gas in a three-dimensional box.

Carry out the Sommerfeld expansion for the energy integral (7.54), to obtain equation 7.67. Then plug in the expansion for to obtain the final answer, equation 7.68.

Consider a collection of 10,000 atoms of rubidium- 87 , confined inside a box of volume (10-5m)3.

(a) Calculate 0, the energy of the ground state. (Express your answer in both joules and electron-volts.)

(b) Calculate the condensation temperature, and compare kTcto0.

(c) Suppose that T=0.9TcHow many atoms are in the ground state? How close is the chemical potential to the ground-state energy? How many atoms are in each of the (threefold-degenerate) first excited states?

(d) Repeat parts (b) and (c) for the case of 106atoms, confined to the same volume. Discuss the conditions under which the number of atoms in the ground state will be much greater than the number in the first excited state.
