To obtain equation (9-42), we calculated a total number of fermions Nas a function of EFassuming T=0. starting with equation(9.41) . But note that (9.4)is the denominator of our model for calculating average particle energy, equation (9.26). its numerator is the total (as opposed (o average particle) energy'. which we鈥檒l callUtotalhere. In other wonts. the total system energy Uis the average particle energyE times the total number of particles (n). CalculateUtotalas a function ofEF

And use this to show that the minimum (T=0)energy of a gas of spin fermions may be written asUtotal=310(323m3/2V)2/3N5/3

Short Answer

Expert verified

The total energy isUtotal=310(323m3/2V)2/3N5/3

Step by step solution

01

The total energy, density of states and fermi energy 

In order to show that the total energy Utotalof an Nnumber ofspin1/2fermions at0.Kis:

Ulocal=310(323m3/2V)2/3N5/3 鈥︹ (1)

Here V is their total volume.his Planck's reduced constant, andmis the particle mass).

The equation for the total energy of a group of particles is used:

Ulocal=EN(E)D(E)dE 鈥︹ (2)

HereEis the energyN(E)is the number of particles per state as a function of energy, D(E)is the density of states as a function of energy, anddEis the differential of energy.

The density of statesD(E)for a gas in a well 3Dof volumelocalid="1658398051531" Vis also needed:

D(E)=(2s+1)m3/2V232E1/2 鈥︹ (3)

With s being the spin of the particles, mas their mass,as Planck's reduced constant, andEas the energy.

The expression for the Fermi energyEFat 0Kwill also be useful:

EF=22m[3(2s+1)2VNV]2/3 鈥︹ (4)

With the variables having the same meanings as in the other equations.

02

Find the total energy of the fermions

To find the total energy of the fermions, equation (2) is used, with equation (3) being used for D(E)If the energy is below the Fermi energy, then the number of particles per state N(E)will just be 1, with the limits of integration thus being from 0 to the Fermi energy :EF

Ulocal=EN(E)D(E)dEUlocal=E=0E=EFE[1][(2s+1)m3/2V232E1/2]dE=E=0E=EF(2s+1)m3/2V232E3/2dE

Since its fermions that are being used, this will be12 (given that fermions are spin12 particles), and the 2's combined with rationalizing the denominator:

Utotal=E=0E=EF(2s+1)m3/2V232E3/2dE=E=0E=Ef(2[12]+1)m3/2V232E3/2dE=E=0E=Ef2m3/2V232E3/2dE=E=Efm3/2V223E3/2dE

03

Integrate with respect to E

So then the constants can be pulled out, and then just integrate with respect to E:

Utotal=E=0E=Efm3/2V223E3/2dE=m3/2V223E=0E=EfE3/2dE=m3/2V223[25E3/2]0EF=22m3/2V523EF3/2 鈥︹ (5)

The Fermi energy can be inserted, but it's helpful to simplify its expression a little first, with using12 for the :S

EF=22m[3(2s+1)2NV]2/3=22m[3(2{12}+1)2NV]2/3=22m[3N22V]2/3

That can be simplified a little more by combining the 2's, then factoring them out, and factoring the is:

EV=22m[3N22V]2/3=2m[33N23/2V]2/3=22m(33NV)2/3

04

Replace the Ef  in equation (5) and apply the exponent.

So then replace theEFin equation (5) with that, and apply the exponent:

Utotal=22m3/2V523EF5/2=23/2m3/2V523[22m(32NV)2/3]5/2=(2m)3/2V523[5(2m)5/2(32NV)5/3]

The terms outside the parentheses can combine with the term outside the brackets:

Utotal=(2m)3/2V523[5(2m)5/2(32NV)5/3]=2V52(2m)(32NV)5/3=2V10m2(32NV)5/3

Then bringthe Vand inside the parentheses to combine them with the others:

Utotal=2V10m2(32NV)5/3=210m(32NV3/56/5V)5/3=210m(34/5NV2/5)5/3

With the variables combined now, the 5/3can be applied to the parentheses, and then the 3 rewritten slightly:

Utotal=210m(34/5NV2/5)5/3=210m(3)5/34/3N5/3V2/3=210m3(3)2/34/3N5/3V2/3

Given that some of the exponents are multiples of 2/3, they can be grouped together:

Utotal=210m3(3)2/34/3N5/3V2/3=3210m(32V)2/3N5/3

Some of the other variables can be brought inside the parentheses.

Utotal=3210m(32V)2/3N5/3=310(323m3/2V)2/3N5/3

Utotal=3210m(32V)2/3N5/3=310(323m3/2V)2/3N5/3

The total energy is

Utotal=310(323m3/2V)2/3N5/3

The exact probabilities of equation (9-9) rest on the claim that the number of ways of addingNdistinct non-negative integer to give a total ofM is (M+N-1)![M!(N-1)!] . One way to prove it involves the following trick. It represents two ways that Ndistinct integers can add toM-9 and5, respectively. In this special case.

The X's represent the total of the integers, M-each row has 5. The 1'srepresent "dividers" between the distinct integers of which there will of course be N-Ieach row has8 . The first row says thatn1 is3 (three X'sbefore the divider between it andn2 ), n2is0 (noX's between its left divider withn1 and its right divider withn3 ),n3 ) is1 . n4throughn6 are0 , n7is1 , and n8and n9are0 . The second row says that n2is 2. n6is 1, n9is2 , and all othern are0 . Further rows could account for all possible ways that the integers can add toM . Argue that properly applied, the binomial coefficient (discussed in AppendixJ ) can be invoked to give the correct total number of ways for anyN andM .

Example 9.2 obtains a ratio of the number of particles expected in the n = 2state lo that in the ground state. Rather than the n = 2state, consider arbitrary n.

(a) Show that the ratio is numberofenergyEnnumberofenergyE1=n2e-13.6cV(1-n-2)/kBT

Note that hydrogen atom energies are En=-13.6eV/st2.

(b) What is the limit of this ratio as n becomes very large? Can it exceed 1? If so, under what condition(s)?

(c) In Example 9.2. we found that even at the temperature of the Sun's surface(~6000K), the ratio for n = 2 is only 10-8 . For what value of nwould the ratio be 0.01?

(d) Is it realistic that the number of atoms with high n could be greater than the number with low n ?

We claim that the famous exponential decrease of probability with energy is natural, the vastly most probable and disordered state given the constraints on total energy and number of particles. It should be a state of maximum entropy ! The proof involves mathematical techniques beyond the scope of the text, but finding support is good exercise and not difficult. Consider a system of11oscillators sharing a total energy of just5丑蝇0 . In the symbols of Section 9.3. N=11andM=5 .

  1. Using equation(9-9) , calculate the probabilities ofn , being0,1,2, and3 .
  2. How many particlesNn , would be expected in each level? Round each to the nearest integer. (Happily. the number is still 11. and the energy still5丑蝇0 .) What you have is a distribution of the energy that is as close to expectations is possible. given that numbers at each level in a real case are integers.
  3. Entropy is related to the number of microscopic ways the macro state can be obtained. and the number of ways of permuting particle labels withN0 ,N1,N2 , and N3fixed and totaling11 is11!(N0!N1!N2!N3!) . (See Appendix J for the proof.) Calculate the number of ways for your distribution.
  4. Calculate the number of ways if there were6 particles inn=0.5 inn=1 and none higher. Note that this also has the same total energy.
  5. Find at least one other distribution in which the 11 oscillators share the same energy, and calculate the number of ways.
  6. What do your finding suggests?
