  2. The Naïve Approach, Again N particles ri(t), vi(t); interaction V(ri-rj)

  3. Elementary Probability Theory Assume the speeds of 10 particles are 0.0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0 m/s When we have many particles, we may denote pa the probability of finding their velocities in the interval [va, va+1].

  4. Elementary Probability Theory Now, the averages become In the continuous version, we may denote p(v)dv the probability of finding particles’ velocities in the interval [v, v+dv].

  5. Assumptions of the Ideal Gas Model • Large number of molecules and large average separation (molecular volume is negligible). • The molecules obey Newton’s laws, but as a whole they move randomly with a time-independent distribution of speeds. • The molecules undergo elastic collisions with each other and with the walls of the container. • The forces between molecules are short-range, hence negligible except during a collision. • That is, all of the gas molecules are identical.

  6. The Microscopic Model L x

  7. Pressure, the Microscopic View • Pressure that a gas exerts on the walls of its container is a consequence of the collisions of the gas molecules with the walls. half of molecules moving right r = N / V

  8. Applying the Ideal Gas Law Boltzmann’s constant

  9. Temperature • Temperature is a measure of internal energy (kB is the conversion factor). It measures the average energy per degree of freedom per molecule/atom. • Equipartition theorem: can be generalized to rotational and vibrational degrees of freedom.

  10. Heat Capacity at Constant V • We can detect the microscopic degrees of freedom by measuring heat capacity at constant volume. • Internal Energy U = NfkBT/2 • Heat capacity • Molar specific heat cV = (f/2)R degrees of freedom

  11. Specific Heat at Constant V • Monoatomic gases has a ratio 3/2. Remember? • Why do diatomic gases have the ratio 5/2? • What about polyatomic gases?

  17. Vibrational Mode Solution 1: Vibration with the reduced mass.

  18. Translational Mode Solution 1: Translation!

  19. Two Harmonic Oscillators In mathematics language, we solved an eigenvalue problem. The two eigenvectors are orthogonal to each other. Independent!

  20. Mode Counting – 1D • 1D: N-atom linear molecule • Translation: 1 • Vibration: N – 1 A straightforward generalization of the two-atom problem.

  21. y 1 From 1D to 2D: A Trivial Example rotation translation vibration

  22. Mode Counting – 2D • 2D: N-atom (planer, nonlinear) molecule • Translation: 2 • Rotation: 1 • Vibration: 2N – 3

  23. Mode Counting – 3D • 3D: N-atom (nonlinear) molecule • Translation: 3 • Rotation: 3 • Vibration: 3N – 6

  24. Vibrational Modes of CO2 • N = 3, linear • Translation: 3 • Rotation: 2 • Vibration: 3N – 3 – 2 = 4

  25. Vibrational Modes of H2O • N = 3, planer • Translation: 3 • Rotation: 3 • Vibration: 3N – 3 – 3 = 3

  26. Contribution to Specific Heat Equipartition theorem: The mean value of each independent quadratic term in the energy is equal to kBT/2.

  27. Specific Heat of H2 Quantum mechanics is needed to explain this.

  28. Specific Heat of Solids DuLong – Petit law spatial dimension vibration energy Molar specific heat Again, quantum mechanics is needed.

  40. How to cool atoms?

  41. Laser Cooling Figure: A CCD image of a cold cloud of rubidium atoms which have been laser cooled by the red laser beams to temperatures of a millionth of a Kelvin. The white fluorescent cloud forms at the intersection of the beams.

  42. Bose-Einstein Condensation Velocity-distribution data for a gas of rubidium atoms, confirming the discovery of a new phase of matter, the Bose–Einstein condensate. Left: just before the appearance of a Bose–Einstein condensate. Center: just after the appearance of the condensate. Right: after further evaporation, leaving a sample of nearly pure condensate.

  43. Earlier BEC Research • BEC in ultracold atomic gases was first realized in 1995 with 87Rb, 23Na, and 7Li. This pioneering work was honored with the Nobel prize 2001 in physics, awarded to Eric Cornell, Carl Wieman, and Wolfgang Ketterle. For an updated list, check http://ucan.physics.utoronto.ca/
