  10. Quantum Statistics • Indistinguishable particles. • Bose-Einstein – Any number of particles per state. Particles with integer spin:0,1,2, etc • Fermi-Dirac – Only one particle per state: Particles with integer plus ½ spin: 1/2, 3/2, etc Thermo & Stat Mech - Spring 2006 Class 18

  11. Bose-Einstein • At energy ei there are Ni particles divided among gi states. How many ways can they be distributed? Consider Ni particles and gi – 1 barriers between states, a total of Ni + gi – 1 objects to be arranged. How many arrangements? Thermo & Stat Mech - Spring 2006 Class 18
