The subject is simple, the methods are powerful, and the results have broad applica tions, Probably no other physical theory is used more widely throughout science and engineering. ‘We have written for undergraduate students of physics and astronomy, and for electrical engineering students generally, ‘These fields for ove Purposes have strong common bonds, most notably a concem with Ferri ftses, whether in semiconductors, metals, slurs, oF nuclei, We develop methods (not original, Lut aut easily accessible elsewhere) that are well suited to these fields. We wrote the book in the fist place because we ‘were delighted by the clarity of the "new" methods as compared to those ‘we were tought when we were students ourselves. We have not emphasized several traditional wopies, some because they ‘are no longer useful and some because their eeliance on classical satisti- cal mechanics would make the course more difficult than we believe a first course should be, Also, we have avoided the use of combinatorial ‘methods where they are unnecessary.

Therefore we provide this introduction to Set out what we are ‘oing to do in the chapters that follow. We show the main lies ofthe logical structure: in thi subject all the physis comes from the loge, In ordee of their appearance, the leading characters in aur story are the entropy, the lemperature, the Boltzmann factor, the chemical potential, the Gibbs factor, and the eistribus sion fonctions ‘The entropy measures the number af quantum states accessible toa ystor A close system might be in any of these quantum states and (we assume) with ‘equal probability. The fundamentt statistic element, the fundamental logical assumption, i that quantum states are either accessible or inaccessible to the system, sd the system is equally ikely to be In any one accessbte state a8 any other accessible state. Given g accessible states, the entropy is defined as 2 = logg. The entropy thus defined will be a function of the energy U, the number of particles N, and the volume 1 of the system, because these param cers emter the determination of g2 other parameters may enter as well. The use of the logarithm is a mathematical eonvenionce: itis easier to write 102° than exp({0), and it is more natural for wo systems to speak of ay + oy than of gis ‘When two systems, each of specified energy, are brought into thermal coatact ‘hey may wansfer energy; their total energy remains constant, but the constraints, on their individual energies are lifted. A transfer of energy in one direction, or peshaps inthe other, may increase the product gg, that measures the number of accessible states of the combined systems. The fundamental assumption biases the outcome ia favor ofthat allocation ofthe total energy that maximizes the number of accessible states: more is better, and moe likely, This statement is the kernel ofthe law of increase of entropy, whict isthe general expression of the second law of theemody namics, ‘We have brought 1wo systems into thermal contact so that they may transfor energy. What isthe most probable outcome of the encounter? One system will, ‘gain energy at the expense of the other, and meanwhile the total entropy ofthe two systems will increase. Eventually the entropy will reach @ maximum for ‘the given total energy.

FUNDAMENTAL ASSUMPTION ‘The fundamental assumption of thermal physis is that a closed system is equally likely to be in any of the quantum states accesible to it, Al accessible quartunt states re assumed to be equally prudable—sheve & Hu HeaseR 4O prefer some accessible states over other accessibe states, A closed sy hhave constant energy, 2 constant number of particles, constant volume, and constant values of all external parameters that may influence the system, including gravitational, electric, and magnetic feds. quantum state is accessible if ils properties are compatible with the plysical specification ofthe system: the energy of the state must be in the range within which the energy ofthe system is specified and the number of particles must be jn the range within which the numberof particles is specified, With lage systems ‘we can never know either of these exactly, but it will sufice to have BUJU « 1 and BN/N 1 Unusual properties of a system may sometimes make it impossible for cxttain sates tobe accessible during the time the tysier is under observation. For example, the states of the erystaline form of SiO, are inaccessible at low temperatures in any observation that starts with the glassy oF amorphous {orm: fused silica will not convert to quartzin our lifetime ina low-temperature caperiment. You will recognize many exclusions of this type by common sense, We treat all quantum states as accessible unless they are excluded by the specification ofthe system (Figure 2.1) and the time scale of the measurement Process, States that are not accessible ae std to have zero probability. Of cours, i is possible to specify the configuration of a closed system to a point that its statistical properties as such are of no interest.
