Use the microcanonical distribution to calculate thermodynamic properties (including entropy, all relevant thermodynamic potentials, and heat capacity), of an ensemble of similar two-level systems, in thermodynamic equilibrium at temperature T that is comparable with the energy gap (delta). For each variable, sketch its temperature dependence, and find its asymptotic values (or trends) in the low- temperature and high-temperature limits.

Hint: The two-level system is generally defined as any system with just two relevant states whose energies, say E0 and E1, are separated by a finite gap (delta)= E1 - E0. Its most popular (but not the only!) example is a spin-1⁄2 particle, e.g., an electron, in an external magnetic field.

Use the Gibbs distribution to calculate thermodynamic properties (including entropy, all relevant thermodynamic potentials, and heat capacity), of an ensemble of similar two-level systems, in thermodynamic equilibrium at temperature T that is comparable with the energy gap (delta). For each variable, sketch its temperature dependence, and find its asymptotic values (or trends) in the low- temperature and high-temperature limits. Also, calculate the probabilities of the energy level occupation, and give physical interpretations of your results, in both temperature limits.
