I have to calculate the transport coefficients for the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution. But I'm not sure what distribution I have to use. As far as I know it should not be the MB distribution for v-space (Velocity) or E-axis (Energy), since that will get me the wrong dimensions in the end. I have to use the distribution per state.
But I'm not sure how this looks. The integral I have to solve, for me getting the electrical conductivity (1st transport coefficient) I need, is given by:
L(0)=(2mℏ2)3/2e2τπ2m∫(−∂fMB∂ε)ε3/2dε,
at least, again, when trying to calculate the electrical conductivity, which in the end should end up being Drudes formula σ=ne2τm.
So basically, not hard. But I have to get the distribution function right.
As far as I know the MB-distribution is given by:
fMB(ε)=Ce−ε/kBT,
where C is what I need to figure out, since that will determine the dimensions of my coefficients.
According to my book the normalized MB distribution function is:
ˉn=ˉNZ1(T,V)e−ε/kBT,
where:
Z1(T,V)ˉN=VˉN(2πmkBTh2)Zint(T),
and Zint(T)=1 in my case.
But I'm not quite sure how to about this? As far as I can see, it's not just inserting the reversed term of this in C - at least not from what I can see. Maybe it's the V/N I'm not sure about.
Well, anyone who can give me a clue?
