  2. Maxwell–Boltzmann statistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MaxwellBoltzmann_statistics

    MaxwellBoltzmann statistics grew out of the MaxwellBoltzmann distribution, most likely as a distillation of the underlying technique. [dubious – discuss] The distribution was first derived by Maxwell in 1860 on heuristic grounds. Boltzmann later, in the 1870s, carried out significant investigations into the physical origins of this ...

  3. Maxwell–Boltzmann distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MaxwellBoltzmann...

    The MaxwellBoltzmann distribution is a result of the kinetic theory of gases, which provides a simplified explanation of many fundamental gaseous properties, including pressure and diffusion. [3] The MaxwellBoltzmann distribution applies fundamentally to particle velocities in three dimensions, but turns out to depend only on the speed ...

  5. Canonical ensemble - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canonical_ensemble

    In this way, the canonical ensemble provides exactly the Boltzmann distribution (also known as MaxwellBoltzmann statistics) for systems of any number of particles. In comparison, the justification of the Boltzmann distribution from the microcanonical ensemble only applies for systems with a large number of parts (that is, in the ...

  6. Gas in a harmonic trap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_in_a_harmonic_trap

    Using the results from either MaxwellBoltzmann statistics, Bose–Einstein statistics or Fermi–Dirac statistics we use the Thomas–Fermi approximation (gas in a box) and go to the limit of a very large trap, and express the degeneracy of the energy states as a differential, and summations over states as integrals.

  7. Particle statistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle_statistics

    Particle statistics is a particular description of multiple particles in statistical mechanics.A key prerequisite concept is that of a statistical ensemble (an idealization comprising the state space of possible states of a system, each labeled with a probability) that emphasizes properties of a large system as a whole at the expense of knowledge about parameters of separate particles.

  8. Boltzmann distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boltzmann_distribution

    Boltzmann's distribution is an exponential distribution. Boltzmann factor ⁠ ⁠ (vertical axis) as a function of temperature T for several energy differences ε i − ε j.. In statistical mechanics and mathematics, a Boltzmann distribution (also called Gibbs distribution [1]) is a probability distribution or probability measure that gives the probability that a system will be in a certain ...

  9. Ludwig Boltzmann - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludwig_Boltzmann

    Boltzmann had been exposed to molecular theory by James Clerk Maxwell’s paper, "Illustrations of the Dynamical Theory of Gases," which described temperature as dependent on the speed of the molecules. This inspired Boltzmann to embrace atomism, introducing statistics into physics and extending the theory. [22]
