Tillståndstätheten
Tillståndstätheten is a term used in statistical mechanics and related fields, often translated as "density of states". It describes the number of distinct quantum states available to a system per unit energy interval. Imagine a system, like a collection of atoms or particles, that can exist in various energy configurations. The tillståndstätheten quantifies how densely these energy configurations are packed around a particular energy level.
Mathematically, the tillståndstätheten, often denoted by $g(E)$ or $\rho(E)$, is defined such that $g(E) dE$ represents
The exact form of the tillståndstätheten depends on the specific system being considered. For example, in a
