Über die statistische Begründung des Nernstschen Wärmetheorems

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik

Abstract

It is shownNernst's theorem holds when the number of energy levels per energy interval of the system as a whole satisfies certain conditions asymptotically when the number of particles in the system tends toward infinity. These conditions are found to be satisfied for all realistic physical models that have so far been studied. The case of Fermi-Dirac statistics is a limiting case; this may be related with the phenomenon of superconductivity.
