Transcribed Image Text:Problem 1: Two-level system. Canonical ensemble.
Consider N impurity atoms trapped in a solid matrix.
Each impurity can be in one of two states, with energies 0 and ɛ, respectively.
The energy level are non-degenerate.
1) Compute the partition function Z, for one subsystem (i.e. one impurity atom).
2) Compute the partition function Z for the system.
3) Deduce the free energy.
4) Deduce the entropy.
5) Deduce the internal energy.
Problem 2: Two-level system. Canonical ensemble.
Redo the above problem. We assume that the ground level is non degenerate
and the excited level is g-fold degenerate.
