seems natural to replace the sum (1.B.8) with an integral, according to the rule (1.B.11). In this way, we have N 1 dp , (1.B.15) = 3 z −1 eβp2 /2m − 1 V which, by a change of variable, can be written as N = where 4 g(z) = √ π The quantity λ = 2π 2 mkT ∞ V g(z), λ3 x2 e−x = z −1 − e−x2 2 (1.B.16) ∞ dx 0 zn . n3/2 n=1 has the dimension of a length and it is called the thermal wavelength, for it expresses the order of magnitude of the de Broglie wavelength associated to…
