THERMODYNAMICS OF SOME SPECIAL FIELDS
Keyword(s):
The free energy, internal energy, and entropy of two quantized fields are calculated, using the method introduced by Scheidegger and McKay. The two fields examined are those representing (a) an ensemble of mesons bound by an interaction with their source (a nucleon), and (b) an ensemble of electrons perturbed by an external electromagnetic field. The presence of a source in the first case is found to have no effect on the thermodynamic functions of the mesons, while an external electromagnetic field does affect the thermodynamic functions of the electrons. Explicit formulas in the latter case are given.
