The rotational specific heat of molecular hydrogen in the old quantum theory
The rotational specific heat of molecular hydrogen in the old quantum theory Max Planck Institute for the History of Science, Berlin, 13–16 June 2006 Clayton Gearhart (St. John’s University, Minnesota, USA) “Astonishing successes” and “bitter disappointment”: Thus did the German physicist Fritz Reiche portray the state of quantum theory in his 1921 text. His words apply in miniature to early de...
متن کاملSpecific heat anomalies of open quantum systems.
The evaluation of the specific heat of an open damped quantum system is a subtle issue. One possible route is based on the thermodynamic partition function which is the ratio of the partition functions of system plus bath and of the bath alone. For the free damped particle it has been shown, however, that the ensuing specific heat may become negative for appropriately chosen environments. Being...
متن کاملRotational quantum friction.
We investigate the frictional forces due to quantum fluctuations acting on a small sphere rotating near a surface. At zero temperature, we find the frictional force near a surface to be several orders of magnitude larger than that for the sphere rotating in vacuum. For metallic materials with typical conductivity, quantum friction is maximized by matching the frequency of rotation with the cond...
