In Section 6.5 I derived the useful relation F=-kTln(Z)between the Helmholtz free energy and the ordinary partition function. Use analogous argument to prove that =-kTln(Z^), where Z^ is the grand partition function and is the grand free energy introduced in Problem 5.23.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The grand canonical function is =-kTln(Z^) which is proved successfully.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Grand Potential differentiate

Formula for grand potential is:

=U-TS-N

=U-TS-N

where, Sis entropy, Tis temperature, Nis particles number and is Gibbs free energy per particle.

Use thermodynamic equation:

dU=TdS-PdV+dN

Equation for an infinitesimal change in grand potential is:

d=d(U-TS-N)=dU-d(TS)-d(N)=dU-TdS-SdT-dN-Nd

Substitute dU=TdS-PdV+dN

localid="1647239388505" d=TdS-PdV+dN-TdS-SdT-dN-Nd=-SdT-PdV-Nd

Differentiate equation d=-SdT-PdV-Ndwith respect to

TV=-N

02

Step 2. Number of particles equation

We differentiate function ~=-kTln(Z)^ with respect to .

~TV=-kTZ^Z^

Here, Z^ is grand partition function.

As, average number of particles is given by:

localid="1647240173822" N=kTZ^Z^

Substitute kTZ^Z^=N in above differential equation,

~TV=-N

03

Step 3. Canonical function equation

For grand canonical function and~at =0we get,

~=-kTln(Z)=F

Here, F=-kTln(Z)is called Helmholtz free energy.

Substitute =0in equation =U-TS-N

=U-TS

As, Helmholtz free energy is F=U-TS

Substitute F=U-TSin equation =U-TSwe get,

=F

So, and ~at same initial conditions have same values. Therefore, they are the same functions. Hence, the grand canonical function is =-kTln(Z^).

Most popular questions from this chapter

Sometimes it is useful to know the free energy of a photon gas.

(a) Calculate the (Helmholtz) free energy directly from the definition

(Express the answer in terms of T' and V.)

(b) Check the formula S=-(F/T)Vfor this system.

(c) Differentiate F with respect to V to obtain the pressure of a photon gas. Check that your result agrees with that of the previous problem.

(d) A more interesting way to calculate F is to apply the formula F=-kTlnZ separately to each mode (that is, each effective oscillator), then sum over all modes. Carry out this calculation, to obtain

F=8V(kT)4(hc)30x2ln1-e-xdx

Integrate by parts, and check that your answer agrees with part (a).

In analogy with the previous problem, consider a system of identical spin0bosonstrapped in a region where the energy levels are evenly spaced. Assume that Nis a large number, and again let qbe the number of energy units.

(a) Draw diagrams representing all allowed system states from q=0up to q=6.Instead of using dots as in the previous problem, use numbers to indicate the number of bosons occupying each level.

(b) Compute the occupancy of each energy level, for q=6. Draw a graph of the occupancy as a function of the energy at each level.

(c) Estimate values of and Tthat you would have to plug into the Bose-Einstein distribution to best fit the graph of part(b).

(d) As in part (d) of the previous problem, draw a graph of entropy vs energy and estimate the temperature at q=6from this graph.

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.

Use the results of this section to estimate the contribution of conduction electrons to the heat capacity of one mole of copper at room temperature. How does this contribution compare to that of lattice vibrations, assuming that these are not frozen out? (The electronic contribution has been measured at low temperatures, and turns out to be about40% more than predicted by the free electron model used here.)

For a gas of particles confined inside a two-dimensional box, the density of states is constant, independent of (see Problem 7.28). Investigate the behavior of a gas of noninteracting bosons in a two-dimensional box. You should find that the chemical potential remains significantly less than zero as long as T is significantly greater than zero, and hence that there is no abrupt condensation of particles into the ground state. Explain how you know that this is the case, and describe what does happen to this system as the temperature decreases. What property must have in order for there to be an abrupt Bose-Einstein condensation?
