<h1>Evaluation of the Fermion Free Energy</h1>
|
|
<p>There are <span class="math inline">\(2^N\)</span> possible ion
|
|
configurations <span class="math inline">\(\{ n_i \}\)</span>, we define
|
|
<span class="math inline">\(n^k_i\)</span> to be the occupation of the
|
|
ith site of the kth configuration. The quantum part of the free energy
|
|
can then be defined through the quantum partition function <span
|
|
class="math inline">\(\mathcal{Z}^k\)</span> associated with each ionic
|
|
state <span class="math inline">\(n^k_i\)</span>: <span
|
|
class="math display">\[\begin{aligned}
|
|
F^k &= -1/\beta \ln{\mathcal{Z}^k} \\
|
|
\end{aligned}\]</span> % Such that the overall partition function is:
|
|
<span class="math display">\[\begin{aligned}
|
|
\mathcal{Z} &= \sum_k e^{- \beta H^k} Z^k \\
|
|
&= \sum_k e^{-\beta (H^k + F^k)} \\
|
|
\end{aligned}\]</span></p>
|
|
<p>Because fermions are limited to occupation numbers of 0 or 1 <span
|
|
class="math inline">\(Z^k\)</span> simplifies nicely. If <span
|
|
class="math inline">\(m^j_i = \{0,1\}\)</span> is defined as the
|
|
occupation of the level with energy <span
|
|
class="math inline">\(\epsilon^k_i\)</span> then the partition function
|
|
is a sum over all the occupation states labelled by j: <span
|
|
class="math display">\[\begin{aligned}
|
|
Z^k &= \mathrm{Tr} e^{-\beta F^k} = \sum_j e^{-\beta \sum_i m^j_i
|
|
\epsilon^k_i}\\
|
|
&= \sum_j \prod_i e^{- \beta m^j_i \epsilon^k_i}= \prod_i
|
|
\sum_j e^{- \beta m^j_i \epsilon^k_i}\\
|
|
&= \prod_i (1 + e^{- \beta \epsilon^k_i})\\
|
|
F^k &= -1/\beta \sum_k \ln{(1 + e^{- \beta \epsilon^k_i})}
|
|
\end{aligned}\]</span> % Observables can then be calculated from the
|
|
partition function, for examples the occupation numbers:</p>
|
|
<p><span class="math display">\[\begin{aligned}
|
|
\langle N \rangle &= \frac{1}{\beta} \frac{1}{Z} \frac{\partial
|
|
Z}{\partial \mu} = - \frac{\partial F}{\partial \mu}\\
|
|
&= \frac{1}{\beta} \frac{1}{Z} \frac{\partial}{\partial \mu}
|
|
\sum_k e^{-\beta (H^k + F^k)}\\
|
|
&= 1/Z \sum_k (N^k_{\mathrm{ion}} + N^k_{\mathrm{electron}})
|
|
e^{-\beta (H^k + F^k)}\\
|
|
\end{aligned}\]</span> % with the definitions:</p>
|
|
<p><span class="math display">\[\begin{aligned}
|
|
N^k_{\mathrm{ion}} &= - \frac{\partial H^k}{\partial \mu} = \sum_i
|
|
n^k_i\\
|
|
N^k_{\mathrm{electron}} &= - \frac{\partial F^k}{\partial \mu} =
|
|
\sum_i \left(1 + e^{\beta \epsilon^k_i}\right)^{-1}\\
|
|
\end{aligned}\]</span></p>
