Microcanonical scaling in small systems
A microcanonical finite-size scaling ansatz is discussed. It exploits the existence of a well-defined transition point for systems of finite size in the microcanonical ensemble. The best data collapse obtained for small systems yields values for the critical exponents in good agreement with other approaches. The exact location of the infinite system critical point is not needed when extracting ...
متن کاملPhase Transitions in Small Systems: Microcanonical vs. Canonical Ensembles
We compare phase transition(-like) phenomena in small model systems for both microcanonical and canonical ensembles. Our model systems correspond to a few classical (non-quantum) point particles confined in a one-dimensional box and interacting via Lennard-Jones-type pair potentials. Already by means of these simple examples it can be shown that microcanonical thermodynamic functions of a small...
متن کاملMicrocanonical entropy for small magnetisations
Physical quantities obtained from the microcanonical entropy surfaces of classical spin systems show typical features of phase transitions already in finite systems. It is demonstrated that the singular behaviour of the microcanonically defined order parameter and susceptibility can be understood from a Taylor expansion of the entropy surface. The general form of the expansion is determined fro...
متن کاملCanonical and microcanonical calculations for fermi systems
Recursion relations are presented that allow exact calculation of canonical and microcanonical partition functions of degenerate Fermi systems, assuming no explicit two-body interactions. Calculations of the level density, sorted by angular momentum, are presented for 56Ni. The issue of treating unbound states is also addressed.
متن کاملMicrocanonical origin of the maximum entropy principle for open systems.
There are two distinct approaches for deriving the canonical ensemble. The canonical ensemble either follows as a special limit of the microcanonical ensemble or alternatively follows from the maximum entropy principle. We show the equivalence of these two approaches by applying the maximum entropy formulation to a closed universe consisting of an open system plus bath. We show that the target ...
