Title: The equivalence between the canonical and microcanonical ensembles when applied to large systems
Abstract:A straightforward technique is suggested that demonstrates that a microcanonical ensemble and canonical ensemble behave in exactly the same way in the thermodynamic limit. The canonical distribution i...A straightforward technique is suggested that demonstrates that a microcanonical ensemble and canonical ensemble behave in exactly the same way in the thermodynamic limit. The canonical distribution is derived for a closed system, without the need to introduce a large reservoir that exchanges energy with the system. The derivation also clarifies the issue of the energy interval which arises when introducing the microcanonical ensemble.Read More
