Textbook Question
Chapter 10, Problem 11P
To obtain a more clearly defined picture of the Fermi–Dirac distribution, consider a system of 20 Fermi–Dirac particles sharing 94 units of energy. By drawing diagrams like Figure P10.11, show that there are nine different microstates. Using Equation 10.2, calculate and plot the average number of particles in each energy level from 0 to 14E. Locate the Fermi energy at 0 K on your plot from the fact that electrons at 0 K fill all the levels consecutively up to the Fermi energy. (At 0 K the system no longer has 94 units of energy, but has the minimum amount of 90E.)
1 Microstate…8 others?
One of the nine equally probable microstates for 20 FD particles with a total energy of 94E.
