hi
i asked myself, is it correct to use the ordinary partition function and cut it off at some value to describe the atom at some finite temperature? or is there a better way to do this calculation?
and if i evaluate the partition function for let me say n=2. does this mean, that the probability of finding the atom in the states 2s, 2px, 2py, 2pz is the same for each state or are there any differences?
