U=−N⋅11+e−βϵ⋅(−ϵe−βϵ)=Nϵe−βϵ1+e−βϵ=Nϵeβϵ+1cap U equals negative cap N center dot the fraction with numerator 1 and denominator 1 plus e raised to the negative beta epsilon power end-fraction center dot open paren negative epsilon e raised to the negative beta epsilon power close paren equals the fraction with numerator cap N epsilon e raised to the negative beta epsilon power and denominator 1 plus e raised to the negative beta epsilon power end-fraction equals the fraction with numerator cap N epsilon and denominator e raised to the beta epsilon power plus 1 end-fraction 3. Quantum Statistics
When systems interact with their environment, tracking entropy can become cumbersome. Thermodynamic potentials allow us to study systems under specific constraints by shifting focus to the environment's properties. Cv=NkB(ϵkBT)2eϵ/kBT(eϵ/kBT+1)2cap C sub v equals cap N k
Cv=NkB(ϵkBT)2eϵ/kBT(eϵ/kBT+1)2cap C sub v equals cap N k sub cap B open paren the fraction with numerator epsilon and denominator k sub cap B cap T end-fraction close paren squared the fraction with numerator e raised to the epsilon / k sub cap B cap T power and denominator open paren e raised to the epsilon / k sub cap B cap T power plus 1 close paren squared end-fraction Core Frameworks: Macroscopic vs. Microscopic
