%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \sect{The functions $N(E)$ and $Z(T)$ for N particles in a box} In this question one must evaluate ${Z\left(\beta\right)}$ using the next equation % % \[Z\left(\beta\right)=\sum_{n}e^{-\beta E_{n}}=\int g\left(E\right)d\left(E\right) e^{-\beta E}\] % % \begin {itemize} \item[(a)] Particle in a three dimensional space ${H=\sum_{i=1}^{3}\frac{p_{i}^{\alpha}}{2m}}$ Calculate ${g\left(E\right)}$ and through that evaluate ${Z\left(\beta\right)}$ Guideline: for calculating ${\mathcal{N}\left(E\right)}$ one must evaluate some points ${\left(n_{1} n_{2} n_{3}\right)}$- each point represents a state - there's in ellipse ${E_{n_{1} n_{2} n_{3}}\leq E}$ \item[(b)] ${N}$ particles with equal mass in a three dimensional space. assume that it's possible to distinguish between those particles. Prove: ${\mathcal{N}\left(E\right)= const \cdot E^{\frac{3N}{2}}}$ Find the const. use Dirichlet's integral (private case) for calculating the 'volume' of an ${N}$ dimensional Hyper-ball: % % \[\int...\int \Pi dx_{i}=\frac{\pi^{\frac{N}{2}}}{\left(\frac{N}{2}\right)!}R^{N}\] % % ${\sum x_{i}^{2}\leq R^{2}}$ Calculate ${g\left(E\right)}$ and from there evaluate ${Z\left(\beta\right)}$ \end {itemize}
