Lecture 9: Gibbs Factor and Gibbs Sum

from Thermal and Statistical Physics Hosted by Prof. Carlson

When the system and reservoir can trade particles, you can't use the Boltzmann factor and the partition function anymore. Instead, use the Gibbs factor, and the grand partition function (or Gibbs sum). We introduce these new things, and then apply them to semiconductors, aluminum soft drink cans, and blood.
