Problem 3: Imagine a system of N spins on lattice sites, but this time the spins can have three possible states. The three states contribute an energies 0 and EHoH when a magnetic field H is applied. We are first going to treat this problem in the microcanoni- cal ensemble. Write down the number of ways there are to distribute the total energy U between a system of N; particles contributing an energy Ho, N, contributing an energy 0 and Nz contributing an energy - Ho. Write this expression just as a function of U and N = N; + N2 + N3. You will quickly see why the microcanonical ensemble is not such a clever device. Problem 4: Redo the previous problem but now using the canonical ensemble cal- culate the thermodynamic properties of entropy, energy, heat capacity. See how these quantities vary in the high and low temperature limits.
