Description
This course is designed for First year MSc Chemistry students.
It covers the following topics:
Concept of ensembles, partition functions and distributions, microcanonical, canonical and grand canonical ensembles, canonical and grand canonical partition functions, Boltzmann, Fermi-Dirac and Bose-Einstein distributions. Canonical partition function in terms of molecular partition function of non-interacting particles, Translational, rotational and vibrational partition functions.
Temperature dependence of the second virial coefficient. Thermodynamics of solids - Einstein and Debye models. T3 dependence of heat capacity of solids at low temperatures.
Fermi function, Fermi energy, free electron model and density of states, chemical potential of conduction electrons.
