Bose-Einstein statistics : Bose Einstein statistics
In statistical thermodynamics, Bose-Einstein statistics determines the statistical distribution of identical indistinguishable bosons over the energy states in thermal equilibrium[?].Bose-Einstein (or B-E) statistics are closely related to Maxwell-Boltzmann statistics (M-B) and Fermi-Dirac statistics (F-D). While F-D statistics holds for fermions, M-B statistics holds for "classical particles, i.e. identical but distinguishable particules, and represents the classical or high-temperature limit of both F-D and B-E statistics.
Bosons, unlike fermions, are not subject to the Pauli exclusion principle: an unlimited number of particles may occupy the same state at the same time. This explain why, at low temperatures, bosons can behave very differently than fermions; all the particules they will tend to congregate together at the same lowest-energy state, forming what is a Bose-Einstein condensate.
B-E statistics was introduced for photons in 1920 by Bose and generalized to atoms by Einstein in 1924.
The Bose-Einstein distribution function
The distribution function f(E) is the probability that a particle is in energy state E, for B-E statistics the following hold:
- <math>f_{BE}(E) = \frac{1}{A \exp({E}/{k_B T}) - 1}</math>
where:
- E is the energy
- kB is Boltzmann's constant
- T is absolute temperature
- A is a normalization constant

"Well, come! you are a very good sort of a man," said Rose-Pompon,

"Oh, sir.html">sir! only do that, only get Jacques out of prison," cried Rose-

"How's that?" asked Rose-Pompon, with surprise.
"That foolish joke.html">joke of calling me M. Rodin may appear very amusing to you,

"Well! that person with his foolish jokes, has done, without knowing it,

for poor Jacques. Believe me, I am; but do let me pass.
"Listen to me, sir, I beg," said Rose-Pompon; "if I told you the name of

"I do not wish to know any one's secrets, my dear child. In all this,
