Partition Function

Classical partition function (one-component system) in a three-dimensional space:

where:

  • is the number of particles
  • , with being the Boltzmann constant
  • is the potential energy, which depends on the coordinates of the particles (and on the interaction model)
  • represent the position coordinates of the particles (reduced with the system size): i.e.
