T. Moore and D. Schroeder, Am. J. Phys.,
65
(1), 26-36 (1996).
The authors compute the multiplicities (density of states) numerically for an Einstein solid - a collection of identical quantum harmonic oscillators. It is shown that if two such…

D. Stauffer, Am. J. Phys.,
76
(4), 470-473 (2007).
The author reviews models of economic opinions, urban segregation, and language change and shows that the two-dimensional Ising model gives about the same results in each case.

R. Weinstock, Am. J. Phys.,
37
(12), 1273-1279 (1969).
It is shown that the usual derivation of the heat capacity of an ideal free-electron gas is made invalid by the use of a divergent series. A plausible argument is offered to indicate…

F. Herrmann and P. Wurfel, Am. J. Phys.,
73
(8), 717-721 (2005).
Thermodynamic states and processes involving light are discussed in which the chemical potential of light is nonzero. Light with nonzero chemical potential is produced in…

R. Balian and J. Blaizot, Am. J. Phys.,
67
(12), 1189-1206 (1999).
The physics of stars is a goldmine of problems in statistical mechanics and thermodynamics. We discuss many examples that illustrate the possibility of deepening student’s knowledge…

R. Mehr, T. Grossman, N. Kristianpoller, and Y. Gefen, Am. J. Phys.,
54
(3), 271-273 (1985).
A simple experiment for the demonstration of percolation problems is reported. Measurements were performed on a sheet of conducting paper after randomly cutting out small square…

Post a comment
R. Baierlein, Am. J. Phys.,
69
(4), 423-434 (2000).
The author discusses the chemical potential, a topic that students invariably find difficult. Three "meanings" for the chemical potential are stated and then supported by analytical…

C. Kittel, Am. J. Phys.,
35
(6), 483-487 (1967).
A large class of problems in statistical physics becomes much simpler when treated by means of the chemical potential. In this paper the chemical potential is applied to eight…

B. Parker and R. McLeod, Am. J. Phys.,
48
(12), 1086-1070 (1980).
An analogy between black hole physics and thermodynamics is discussed, and equations similar to the usual partial differential relations of thermodynamics are found for black holes.…
