Consider one dimensional lattice of N particles having a spin of 1 /2 with an associated magnetic moment μ The spins are kept in a magnetic field with magnetic induction B along the z direction. The spin can point either up, t, or down, , relative to the z axis. The energy of particle with spin down is e B and that of particle with spin up is ε--B. We assume that the system is isolated from. its environment so...
2. Microcanonical ensemble: One-dimensional chain. (24 pts.) Consider a one-dimensional chain consisting of N segments as illus- trated in Figure 1. Let the length of each segment be a when the long dimension of the segment is parallel to the chain and 0 when the long dimension is normal to the chain direction. Each segment has just two non-degenerate states: long dimension parallel to the chain or perpen- dicular to the chain. Now consider a macrostate of the chain in...
