L04 Canonical ensemble

Readings (reference material) Reading Kittel Ch. 3 Reading Sethna Ch 6.1, 6.2 Notes Lecture 03 class notes Ensembles A statistical ensemble is a collection of all accessible microstates of a system with associated probabilities. Canonical ensembles are the collection of possible states of a mechanical system in thermal equilibrium with a heat bath (or reservoir) at a fixed temperature T
