Abstract

STATISTICAL mechanics considers any particular body at given temperature T as a member of a canonical ensemble, that is, the probability of finding it with energy E is given by where ω is the multiplicity of the level E of this body. We can take it that, for the body under test, P is a maximum with regard to any parameter n so that The use of this relation appears to simplify appreciably the treatment of some problems in statistical mechanics. I have not, however, been able to find it mentioned anywhere in the known treatises on the subject.
