Examples

For example, the microcanonical ensemble and canonical ensemble are functions strictly of the total energy, which is measured by the total energy operator Ĥ (Hamiltonian). Source: Internet

In an ergodic system, the microcanonical ensemble is the only possible equilibrium ensemble with fixed energy. Source: Internet

On the other hand, if both composition and energy are fixed, then a microcanonical ensemble applies instead. Source: Internet

The equal a priori probability postulate therefore provides a motivation for the microcanonical ensemble described below. Source: Internet

The microcanonical ensemble contains with equal probability each possible state that is consistent with that energy and composition. Source: Internet
