%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \sect{Adsorbtion of polar molecules to a surface} A large number $n$ of identical mass $\mass$ atoms are bounded within a surface that has ${M}$ adsorbtion centers. Each adsorbtion center can connect one atom, such that a polar molecule $AB$ is created. The dipole moment of each molecule is $d$, and it can be oriented either vertically (1 possible orientation) or horizontally (4 possible orientations). The binding energy is ${\epsilon_0}$. Additionally a vertical electric field ${\mathcal{E}}$ is applied. The interaction energy between the field and the dipole is ${-\vec{\mathcal{E}} \cdot \vec{d}}$. The polarization of the system is defined via the expression for the work, ${dW=-D d\mathcal{E}}$. \begin {itemize} \item[(1)] Find the canonical partition function $Z_n(\beta)$ of the system. \item[(2)] Derive an expression for the chemical potential $\mu(T;n)$. \item[(3)] Given $\mu$, deduce what is the coverage $\langle n \rangle$. \item[(4)] Re-derive the expression for $\langle n \rangle$ using the grand canonical partition function $\mathcal{Z}(\beta,\mu)$. \item[(5)] Calculate the polarization $D(\mathcal{E})$ of the system. \end {itemize} %%begin{figure} \putgraph{Ex303} %%\caption{}\label{} %%end{figure}
