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.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information

The energy expression for the gas that satisfy the Bose- Einstein's statistics is

U=nnen-kBT-1

Here,

n= energy of the nthparticle,

kB= Boltzmann's constant,

T= temperature.

The energy of the nthparticle is n=g()where g()is the density of states

02

Step 2. (a) To find the total energy of a gas of N bosons confined to volume V

Substitute the value of g()=nin the equationU=nn(en-kBT-1)

U=0g()en-kBT-1d

Substituting the value of 22mh23/2V=g()

U=22mh23/2V03/2e(-)/kBT-1d

Thus, the total energy of a gas of N bosons confined to a volume V= U=22mh23/2V03/2e(-)/kBT-1d

03

Step 3. 

For T<Tcset =0and x=kBTin the expression U=22mh23/2V03/2e(-)/kBT-1d

U=22mh2VkBT5/20x3/2ex-1dx

We know,

0x3/2ex-1dx=3452

=1.783

so,

U=22mh23/2VkBT5/2(1.783)

Specific heat at constant volume of system=

CV=UTV

=T22mh23/2VkBT5/2(1.783)V

=52(1.783)22mh232VkBT3/2kB

=5.0312mh23/2VkBT3/2kB

Using the expression kBTC=0.527h22mNV2/3

CVNkB=5.0312.612TTC3/2

=1.926TTC3/2

This expression shows the nature of slope in the figure 7.37.

For T=Tc, the constant CVNkBis,

CVNkB=1.926TCTC3/2

=1.926

04

Step 4. 

The system ought to behave like a standard substance gas with 3 degrees of freedom at the upper temperature. By the equipartition theorem, the heat capacity should be32NKB

05

Step 5.

The energy of the system =

U=22mh2VkBT5/20x3/2ex-ct-1dx

=(0.432)NkBTC0x3/2ex-ct-1dx

UNkBTC=(0.432)0x3/2ex-ct-1dx

Att=TTC, the above equation is numerically equal toCVNkB.

Step 6.

Given below is the graph between CVNkBandTTC

A star that is too heavy to stabilize as a white dwarf can collapse further to form a neutron star: a star made entirely of neutrons, supported against gravitational collapse by degenerate neutron pressure. Repeat the steps of the previous problem for a neutron star, to determine the following: the mass radius relation; the radius, density, Fermi energy, and Fermi temperature of a one-solar-mass neutron star; and the critical mass above which a neutron star becomes relativistic and hence unstable to further collapse.

Consider a gas of noninteracting spin-0 bosons at high temperatures, when TTc. (Note that 鈥渉igh鈥 in this sense can still mean below 1 K.)

  1. Show that, in this limit, the Bose-Einstein function can be written approximately as
    nBE=e()/kT[1+e/kT+].
  2. Keeping only the terms shown above, plug this result into equation 7.122 to derive the first quantum correction to the chemical potential for gas of bosons.
  3. Use the properties of the grand free energy (Problems 5.23 and 7.7) to show that the pressure of any system is given by In P=(kT/V), where Zis the grand partition function. Argue that, for gas of noninteracting particles, In Zcan be computed as the sum over all modes (or single-particle states) of In Zi, where Zi; is the grand partition function for the ithmode.
  4. Continuing with the result of part (c), write the sum over modes as an integral over energy, using the density of states. Evaluate this integral explicitly for gas of noninteracting bosons in the high-temperature limit, using the result of part (b) for the chemical potential and expanding the logarithm as appropriate. When the smoke clears, you should find
    p=NkTV(1NvQ42V),
    again neglecting higher-order terms. Thus, quantum statistics results in a lowering of the pressure of a boson gas, as one might expect.
  5. Write the result of part (d) in the form of the virial expansion introduced in Problem 1.17, and read off the second virial coefficient, B(T). Plot the predicted B(T)for a hypothetical gas of noninteracting helium-4 atoms.
  6. Repeat this entire problem for gas of spin-1/2 fermions. (Very few modifications are necessary.) Discuss the results, and plot the predicted virial coefficient for a hypothetical gas of noninteracting helium-3 atoms.

In addition to the cosmic background radiation of photons, the universe is thought to be permeated with a background radiation of neutrinos (v) and antineutrinos (v-), currently at an effective temperature of 1.95 K. There are three species of neutrinos, each of which has an antiparticle, with only one allowed polarisation state for each particle or antiparticle. For parts (a) through (c) below, assume that all three species are exactly massless

(a) It is reasonable to assume that for each species, the concentration of neutrinos equals the concentration of antineutrinos, so that their chemical potentials are equal: =. Furthermore, neutrinos and antineutrinos can be produced and annihilated in pairs by the reaction

+2

(where y is a photon). Assuming that this reaction is at equilibrium (as it would have been in the very early universe), prove that u =0 for both the neutrinos and the antineutrinos.

(b) If neutrinos are massless, they must be highly relativistic. They are also fermions: They obey the exclusion principle. Use these facts to derive a formula for the total energy density (energy per unit volume) of the neutrino-antineutrino background radiation. differences between this "neutrino gas" and a photon gas. Antiparticles still have positive energy, so to include the antineutrinos all you need is a factor of 2. To account for the three species, just multiply by 3.) To evaluate the final integral, first change to a dimensionless variable and then use a computer or look it up in a table or consult Appendix B. (Hint: There are very few

(c) Derive a formula for the number of neutrinos per unit volume in the neutrino background radiation. Evaluate your result numerically for the present neutrino temperature of 1.95 K.

d) It is possible that neutrinos have very small, but nonzero, masses. This wouldn't have affected the production of neutrinos in the early universe, when me would have been negligible compared to typical thermal energies. But today, the total mass of all the background neutrinos could be significant. Suppose, then, that just one of the three species of neutrinos (and the corresponding antineutrino) has a nonzero mass m. What would mc2 have to be (in eV), in order for the total mass of neutrinos in the universe to be comparable to the total mass of ordinary matter?

The planet Venus is different from the earth in several respects. First, it is only 70% as far from the sun. Second, its thick clouds reflect 77%of all incident sunlight. Finally, its atmosphere is much more opaque to infrared light.

(a) Calculate the solar constant at the location of Venus, and estimate what the average surface temperature of Venus would be if it had no atmosphere and did not reflect any sunlight.

(b) Estimate the surface temperature again, taking the reflectivity of the clouds into account.

(c) The opaqueness of Venus's atmosphere at infrared wavelengths is roughly 70times that of earth's atmosphere. You can therefore model the atmosphere of Venus as 70successive "blankets" of the type considered in the text, with each blanket at a different equilibrium temperature. Use this model to estimate the surface temperature of Venus. (Hint: The temperature of the top layer is what you found in part (b). The next layer down is warmer by a factor of 21/4. The next layer down is warmer by a smaller factor. Keep working your way down until you see the pattern.)
