  2. Maxwell–Boltzmann distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MaxwellBoltzmann...

    The MaxwellBoltzmann distribution is a result of the kinetic theory of gases, which provides a simplified explanation of many fundamental gaseous properties, including pressure and diffusion. [3] The MaxwellBoltzmann distribution applies fundamentally to particle velocities in three dimensions, but turns out to depend only on the speed ...

  3. Partition function (statistical mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_function...

    As an example: the partition function for the isothermal-isobaric ensemble, the generalized Boltzmann distribution, divides up probabilities based on particle number, pressure, and temperature. The energy is replaced by the characteristic potential of that ensemble, the Gibbs Free Energy .

  4. Maxwell–Boltzmann statistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MaxwellBoltzmann_statistics

    MaxwellBoltzmann statistics is used to derive the MaxwellBoltzmann distribution of an ideal gas. However, it can also be used to extend that distribution to particles with a different energy–momentum relation , such as relativistic particles (resulting in Maxwell–Jüttner distribution ), and to other than three-dimensional spaces.

  5. Canonical ensemble - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canonical_ensemble

    The Boltzmann distribution itself is one of the most important tools in applying statistical mechanics to real systems, as it massively simplifies the study of systems that can be separated into independent parts (e.g., particles in a gas, electromagnetic modes in a cavity, molecular bonds in a polymer).

  7. Gas in a harmonic trap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_in_a_harmonic_trap

    Using the results from either MaxwellBoltzmann statistics, Bose–Einstein statistics or Fermi–Dirac statistics we use the Thomas–Fermi approximation (gas in a box) and go to the limit of a very large trap, and express the degeneracy of the energy states as a differential, and summations over states as integrals.

  8. Particle statistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle_statistics

    Particle statistics is a particular description of multiple particles in statistical mechanics.A key prerequisite concept is that of a statistical ensemble (an idealization comprising the state space of possible states of a system, each labeled with a probability) that emphasizes properties of a large system as a whole at the expense of knowledge about parameters of separate particles.

  9. Vibrational energy relaxation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibrational_energy_relaxation

    Vibrational energy relaxation, or vibrational population relaxation, is a process in which the population distribution of molecules in quantum states of high energy level caused by an external perturbation returns to the MaxwellBoltzmann distribution. In solution, the process proceeds with intra- and intermolecular energy transfer. The ...
