DFT Quantization of the Gibbs Free Energy of a Quantum Body
DFT quantization of the Gibbs Free Energy of a quantum body S. Selenu (Dated: December 2, 2020) In this article it is introduced a theoretical model made in order to perform calculations of the quantum heat of a body that could be acquired or delivered during a thermal transformation of its quantum states. Here the model is mainly targeted to the electronic structure of matter[1] at the nano and micro scale where DFT models have been frequently developed of the total energy of quantum systems. De fining an Entropy functional S[ρ] makes us able optimizing a free energy G[ρ] of the quantum system at finite temperatures. Due to the generality of the model, the latter can be also applied to several first principles computational codes where ab initio modelling of quantum matter is asked. INTRODUCTION thermal transformations at a fi nite temperature T . This work could then be consid- This article will be focused on a study based on the ered as the begining part of a more general theory can derivation of the quantum electrical heat absorbed or ei- include an ab initio modelling of the first law and second ther released by a physical system made of atoms and law of thermodynamics[13], where heat and free energy electrons either at the nano or at the microscopic scale, variations of a quantum body are taken into account. In extending to it the concept of thermal heat within a DFT fact it is actually considered a quantum system of elec- model. Also, the latter being fundamental in physics, can trons at a given temperature T in thermal equilibrium be employed for a full understanding of the thermal phase with its surrounding. -
ENERGY, ENTROPY, and INFORMATION Jean Thoma June
ENERGY, ENTROPY, AND INFORMATION Jean Thoma June 1977 Research Memoranda are interim reports on research being conducted by the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis, and as such receive only limited scientific review. Views or opinions contained herein do not necessarily represent those of the Institute or of the National Member Organizations supporting the Institute. PREFACE This Research Memorandum contains the work done during the stay of Professor Dr.Sc. Jean Thoma, Zug, Switzerland, at IIASA in November 1976. It is based on extensive discussions with Professor HAfele and other members of the Energy Program. Al- though the content of this report is not yet very uniform because of the different starting points on the subject under consideration, its publication is considered a necessary step in fostering the related discussion at IIASA evolving around th.e problem of energy demand. ABSTRACT Thermodynamical considerations of energy and entropy are being pursued in order to arrive at a general starting point for relating entropy, negentropy, and information. Thus one hopes to ultimately arrive at a common denominator for quanti- ties of a more general nature, including economic parameters. The report closes with the description of various heating appli- cation.~and related efficiencies. Such considerations are important in order to understand in greater depth the nature and composition of energy demand. This may be highlighted by the observation that it is, of course, not the energy that is consumed or demanded for but the informa- tion that goes along with it.

Entropy: from the Boltzmann Equation to the Maxwell Boltzmann Distribution
Entropy: From the Boltzmann equation to the Maxwell Boltzmann distribution A formula to relate entropy to probability Often it is a lot more useful to think about entropy in terms of the probability with which different states are occupied. Lets see if we can describe entropy as a function of the probability distribution between different states. N! WN particles = n1!n2!....nt! stirling (N e)N N N W = = N particles n1 n2 nt n1 n2 nt (n1 e) (n2 e) ....(nt e) n1 n2 ...nt with N pi = ni 1 W = N particles n1 n2 nt p1 p2 ...pt takeln t lnWN particles = "#ni ln pi i=1 divide N particles t lnW1particle = "# pi ln pi i=1 times k t k lnW1particle = "k# pi ln pi = S1particle i=1 and t t S = "N k p ln p = "R p ln p NA A # i # i i i=1 i=1 ! Think about how this equation behaves for a moment. If any one of the states has a probability of occurring equal to 1, then the ln pi of that state is 0 and the probability of all the other states has to be 0 (the sum over all probabilities has to be 1). So the entropy of such a system is 0. This is exactly what we would have expected. In our coin flipping case there was only one way to be all heads and the W of that configuration was 1. Also, and this is not so obvious, the maximal entropy will result if all states are equally populated (if you want to see a mathematical proof of this check out Ken Dill’s book on page 85). -
Proximity to a Critical Point Driven by Electronic Entropy in Uru2si2
www.nature.com/npjquantmats ARTICLE OPEN Proximity to a critical point driven by electronic entropy in URu2Si2 ✉ Neil Harrison 1 , Satya K. Kushwaha1,2, Mun K. Chan 1 and Marcelo Jaime 1 The strongly correlated actinide metal URu2Si2 exhibits a mean field-like second order phase transition at To ≈ 17 K, yet lacks definitive signatures of a broken symmetry. Meanwhile, various experiments have also shown the electronic energy gap to closely resemble that resulting from hybridization between conduction electron and 5f-electron states. We argue here, using thermodynamic measurements, that the above seemingly incompatible observations can be jointly understood by way of proximity to an entropy-driven critical point, in which the latent heat of a valence-type electronic instability is quenched by thermal excitations across a gap, driving the transition second order. Salient features of such a transition include a robust gap spanning highly degenerate features in the electronic density of states, that is weakly (if at all) suppressed by temperature on approaching To, and an elliptical phase boundary in magnetic field and temperature that is Pauli paramagnetically limited at its critical magnetic field. npj Quantum Materials (2021) 6:24 ; https://doi.org/10.1038/s41535-021-00317-6 1234567890():,; INTRODUCTION no absolute requirement for the magnitude of a hybridization gap URu2Si2 remains of immense interest owing to the possibility to vanish at a phase transition, it need not be thermally of it exhibiting a form of order distinct from that observed -
Boltzmann Equation II: Binary Collisions
Physics 127b: Statistical Mechanics Boltzmann Equation II: Binary Collisions Binary collisions in a classical gas Scattering out Scattering in v'1 v'2 v 1 v 2 R v 2 v 1 v'2 v'1 Center of V' Mass Frame V θ θ b sc sc R V V' Figure 1: Binary collisions in a gas: top—lab frame; bottom—centre of mass frame Binary collisions in a gas are very similar, except that the scattering is off another molecule. An individual scattering process is, of course, simplest to describe in the center of mass frame in terms of the relative E velocity V =Ev1 −Ev2. However the center of mass frame is different for different collisions, so we must keep track of the results in the lab frame, and this makes the calculation rather intricate. I will indicate the main ideas here, and refer you to Reif or Landau and Lifshitz for precise discussions. Lets first set things up in the lab frame. Again we consider the pair of scattering in and scattering out processes that are space-time inverses, and so have identical cross sections. We can write abstractly for the scattering out from velocity vE1 due to collisions with molecules with all velocities vE2, which will clearly be proportional to the number f (vE1) of molecules at vE1 (which we write as f1—sorry, not the same notation as in the previous sections where f1 denoted the deviation of f from the equilibrium distribution!) and the 3 3 number f2d v2 ≡ f(vE2)d v2 in each velocity volume element, and then we must integrate over all possible vE0 vE0 outgoing velocities 1 and 2 ZZZ df (vE ) 1 =− w(vE0 , vE0 ;Ev , vE )f f d3v d3v0 d3v0 .
