Homework Statement
The system is composed of a set of N non-interacting harmonic oscillators which can be described as a two-dimensional Einstein solid model in the x, y plane. Suppose that each oscillator has mass m and charge q and that there is a magnetic field HH directed along the z direction.
Relevant Equations
Compute (when the system at thermal equilibrium at temperature T):
Internal Energy
Magnetization
Specific heat capacity\bigm

I tried to solve it considering the canonical ensemble (since the system is at the equilibrium with temperature T) and started finding the partition function:

The problem is I am not sure if I have done it correctly and need help because I don't really know where to check.

Why are you adding the two terms in your expression for the partition sum? You just have to use the expression and do the two sums over ##n_r## and ##n_l##. Obviously these two sums factorize!
 
Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...
The value of H equals ## 10^{3}## in natural units, According to : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_units, ## t \sim 10^{-21} sec = 10^{21} Hz ##, and since ## \text{GeV} \sim 10^{24} \text{Hz } ##, ## GeV \sim 10^{24} \times 10^{-21} = 10^3 ## in natural units. So is this conversion correct? Also in the above formula, can I convert H to that natural units , since it’s a constant, while keeping k in Hz ?
