Thermodynamics of fermions at any temperature based on parametrized partition function.

Abstract

In this work, we study the recently developed parametrized partition function formulation and show how we can infer the thermodynamic properties of fermions based on numerical simulation of bosons and distinguishable particles at various temperatures. In particular, we show that in the three-dimensional space defined by energy, temperature, and the parameter characterizing parametrized partition function, we can map the energies of bosons and distinguishable particles to fermionic energies through constant-energy contours. We apply this idea to both noninteracting and interacting Fermi systems and show it is possible to infer the fermionic energies at all temperatures, thus providing a practical and efficient approach to obtain thermodynamic properties of Fermi systems with numerical simulation. As an example, we present energies and heat capacities for 10 noninteracting fermions and 10 interacting fermions and show good agreement with the analytical result for the noninteracting case.
