The summation consists of two parts: a sum over the particle number N and for each N, over all microscopic states i of a system with that number of particles. The systems in equilibrium with the reservoir that supplies both energy and particles constitute the grand canonical ensemble.

U1 ln Z1 3 U n U1 1 Z total The energy was fluctuating, but the total number of particles was fixed. The role of the thermal reservoir was to fix the mean energy of each particle (i.e., each system). The identical systems in contact with the reservoir constitute the canonical ensemble. This approach works well for the high-temperature (classical) case, which corresponds to the occupation numbers <<1. 4 2 nE4 N ni i E ni Ei i When the occupation numbers are ~ 1, it is to our advantage to choose, instead of particles, a single quantum level as the system, with all particles that might occupy this state. Each energy level is considered as a sub-system in equilibrium with the reservoir, and each level is populated from a particle reservoir independently of the other levels. From Particle States to Occupation Numbers (cont.) We will consider a system of identical non-interacting particles at the temperature T, i is the energy of a single particle in the i state, ni is the occupation number (the occupancy) for this state: N s n i i The energy of the system in the state s {n1, n2, n3,.....} is: E s n11 n2 2 n3 3 ... ni i The grand partition function: i ni ni i N s E s ni ni i i i Z exp exp exp k T k T k T s B B B ni ni i ni i Z exp k BT ni i The sum is taken over all possible occupancies and all states for each occupancy.

Bosons: particles with zero or integer spin (in units of ħ). Examples: photons, all nuclei with even mass numbers. The wavefunction of a system of bosons is symmetric under the exchange of any pair of particles: (...,Qj,...Qi,..)= (...,Qi,...Qj,..). The number of bosons in a given state is unlimited. Fermions: particles with half-integer spin (e.g., electrons, all nuclei with odd mass numbers); the wavefunction of a system of fermions is anti-symmetric under the exchange of any pair of particles: (...,Qj,...Qi,..)= -(...,Qi,...Qj,..). The number of fermions in a given state is zero or one (the Pauli exclusion principle). Bosons and Fermions (cont.) The Bose or Fermi character of composite objects: the composite objects that have even number of fermions are bosons and those containing an odd number of fermions are themselves fermions. (an atom of 3He = 2 electrons + 2 protons + 1 neutron hence 3He atom is a fermion) In general, if a neutral atom contains an odd # of neutrons then it is a fermion, and if it contains en even # of neutrons then it is a boson. The difference between fermions and bosons is specified by the possible values of ni: fermions: ni = 0 or 1 bosons: ni = 0, 1, 2, ..... Bosons and Fermions (cont.) fermions: ni = 0 or 1 bosons: ni = 0, 1, 2, ..... distinguish. n1 particles n2 Bose n1 statistics n2 Fermi n1 statistics n2 1 2 1 2 3 1 3 2 3 4 1 4 2 4 3 1 1 2 2 1 3 2 3 3 1 4 2 4 3 4 1 2 1 1 2 1 2 3 2 1 3 1 3 2 3 2 3 4 3 1 4 1 4 2 4 2 4 3 4 3 Consider two noninteracting particles in a 1D box of length L.
