Consider a crystal with 2N lattice sites. (N is very large). The number of A atoms in
N, and the number of B atoms is also N.

Consider a system containing N particles at constant V and T. The micro states
available to this system are shown diagrammatically below ad they have energies (ε,
ε, and 2ε).
Ω(ϵ) = 2 Ω(2ϵ) = 1
b) Write both versions of the partition function for this system and simplify completely.
Solution.
(a) Four states. 21 , 1 + 2 , 2 + 1 , 22
(b) We know the partition function is
Q = q N = (e−β1 + e−β2 )2
∂Q 1 e−β1 + 2 e−β2
Ē = kT 2 = 2 −β1
∂T e + e−β2
