| '''Thermodynamic integration''' is used to calculate the difference in the [[Helmholtz energy function]], <math>A</math>, between two states.
| | Used to calculate the free energy difference between two states. |
| The path '''must''' be ''continuous'' and ''reversible'', i.e., the system must evolve through a succession of equilibrium states (Ref. 1 Eq. 3.5) | | The path must be ''continuous'' and ''reversible''. |
| | One has a continuously variable energy function <math>U_\lambda</math> such that |
| | <math>\lambda=0</math>, <math>U_\lambda=U_0</math> |
| | and |
| | <math>\lambda=1</math>, <math>U_\lambda=U</math> |
|
| |
|
| :<math>\Delta A = A(\lambda) - A(\lambda_0) = \int_{\lambda_0}^{\lambda} \left\langle \frac{\partial U(\mathbf{r},\lambda)}{\partial \lambda} \right\rangle_{\lambda} ~\mathrm{d}\lambda</math>
| | <math>\Delta A = A - A_0 = \int_0^1 d\lambda <\frac{\partial U_\lambda}{\partial \lambda}>_{\lambda}</math> |
| ==Isothermal integration==
| |
| At constant [[temperature]] (Ref. 2 Eq. 5):
| |
|
| |
|
| :<math>\frac{A(\rho_2,T)}{Nk_BT} = \frac{A(\rho_1,T)}{Nk_BT} + \int_{\rho_1}^{\rho_2} \frac{p(\rho)}{k_B T \rho^2} ~\mathrm{d}\rho </math>
| |
| ==Isobaric integration==
| |
| At constant [[pressure]] (Ref. 2 Eq. 6):
| |
|
| |
|
| :<math>\frac{G(T_2,p)}{Nk_BT_2} = \frac{G(T_1,p)}{Nk_BT_1} - \int_{T_1}^{T_2} \frac{H(T)}{Nk_BT^2} ~\mathrm{d}T </math>
| | <math>U_\lambda=(1-\lambda)U_0 + \lambda U</math> |
| | |
| where <math>G</math> is the [[Gibbs energy function]] and <math>H</math> is the [[enthalpy]].
| |
| ==Isochoric integration==
| |
| At constant volume (Ref. 2 Eq. 7):
| |
| | |
| :<math>\frac{A(T_2,V)}{Nk_BT_2} = \frac{A(T_1,V)}{Nk_BT_1} - \int_{T_1}^{T_2} \frac{U(T)}{Nk_BT^2} ~\mathrm{d}T </math>
| |
| | |
| where <math>U</math> is the [[internal energy]].
