Do simple 2D Ising models have constant density of states?
How is it calculated?
How is it calculated?
The discussion centers on the calculation of the density of states (DOS) in simple 2D Ising models and its implications for using the Boltzmann factor in statistical mechanics. Participants explore the relationship between energy, temperature, and the density of states, specifically questioning how to derive a DOS expression that excludes mass while incorporating constants like kB and T. The conversation highlights the need for clarity in the derivation of DOS expressions, particularly in relation to the Maxwell-Boltzmann energy distribution.
PREREQUISITESPhysicists, researchers in statistical mechanics, and students studying thermodynamics who are interested in the properties of the Ising model and density of states calculations.
Sorry to see you're not getting any help, but starting a new question in the same thread is a VERY bad idea. I'd suggest that you delete it here and start a new thread.rabbed said:Since no one cares, I might as well ask Another question:
Is there a DOS-expression D for the ideal gas which will both fit into MB_PDF(E, T) = D * e^(-E/(kB*T)) / Z (where Z normalizes the distribution)
as well as giving an extensive entropy S = kB*ln(D) ?
It should be the same quantity, right?
