0 %: answer missing, or completely incorrect Part 1d (34 points) : 40 %: outline provided, but insufficient calculation to support the answer 33 %: correct answer, but derived simply from E, which is not explained. 0 %: answer missing, or completely incorrect Part 2a1 (25 points) : exp(beta mu) = n lambda^3, for the volume gas 100 %: practically perfect 60 %: correct starting formula, mistakes lead to incorrect result at end 25 %: correct starting formula, but no or little development from it 0 %: answer missing, or completely incorrect Part 2a2 (25 points) : exp(beta (mu + phi)) = n_A lambda^2, for the surface gas 100 %: practically perfect 80 %: correct except the incorrect power of lambda 50 %: correct starting point, derived an answer, incorrect due to mistake 25 %: incorrect due to incorrect assumptions 25 %: correct starting formula, but no or little development from it 0 %: answer missing, or completely incorrect Part 2a3 (25 points) : equate mu and T (between surface and volume gases) to get n_A = P beta lambda exp(beta phi) 95 %: would have been perfect, were it not for (numerical) mistakes accumulated from previous part(s) 33 %: almost correct answer (lambda missing) but due to considering the surface gas only and mis-attributing P of surface to P of bulk 25 %: stated, incorrectly, G_s = G_v, and no result from it 0 %: answer missing, or completely incorrect Part 2b (25 points) : n_A = 0 when the volume gas is in the BEC phase 25 %: correct starting formula, but no or little development from it 25 %: correct answer deduced from incorrect reasons! 0 %: answer missing, or completely incorrect Part 3a1 (23 points) : mean field model: H_i -- eigenvalues 100 %: practically perfect 50 %: H_i set, but eigenvalues were not considered 33 %: H_i was misidentified (sigma_x term or sigma_z term not inluded) 0 %: answer missing, or completely incorrect Part 3a2 (22 points) : Z from H_i eigenvalues 100 %: practically perfect 95 %: would have been perfect, were it not for (numerical) mistakes accumulated from previous part(s) 25 %: correct starting formula, but no or little development from it 0 %: answer missing, or completely incorrect Part 3a3 (23 points) : m_z, m_x from Z, by differentiation 95 %: would have been perfect, were it not for (numerical) mistakes accumulated from previous part(s) 90 %: correct except that a sign is incorrect 80 %: logically correct answer from previous incorrect part(s), but with some error (e.g. sign mistake) 50 %: one of m_z, m_x, would have been perfect, were it not for mistakes accumulated from previous part(s) 0 %: answer missing, or completely incorrect Part 3b (22 points) : h = 0: m_z = tanh (beta J z m_z) like in class, and T_c = J z / k_B 100 %: practically perfect 95 %: would have been perfect, were it not for (numerical) mistakes accumulated from previous part(s) 60 %: m_z equation set correctly (or logically correctly from a previously incorrect answer), but T_c incorrectly deduced 25 %: correct answer stated with no derivation 0 %: answer missing, or completely incorrect Part 3c (10 points) : chi_x = mu_B beta, chi_z = 0 95 %: would have been perfect, were it not for (numerical) mistakes accumulated from previous part(s) 50 %: while logically correct from previous incorrect part(s), answers are far from physical 25 %: correct starting formula, but no or little development from it 0 %: answer missing, or completely incorrect Part 4a1 (25 points) : Z for the system set up correctly (including the lid) 100 %: practically perfect 75 %: correct except that p_y was not considered 50 %: did not do the lid, but only gas (and included gravity for the gas, despite the instruction not to) 25 %: correct starting formula, but no or little development from it Part 4a2 (25 points) : Z integrated correctly? 75 %: expressed as a y-sum, which was not evaluated/integrated. 60 %: y was not integrated over 60 %: integrated the gas part, without/despite noticing that it depends on y 60 %: did not include the volume integral for the gas part 25 %: correct starting formula, but no or little development from it Part 4b1 (25 points) : -k_B T log Z_{gas} = Gibbs free energy in this case, per principle 100 %: practically perfect 25 %: correct answer deduced from incorrect reasons! 0 %: answer missing, or completely incorrect Part 4b2 (25 points) : -k_B T log Z_{gas} = Gibbs free energy in this case, per calculation 100 %: practically perfect 95 %: would have been perfect, were it not for (numerical) mistakes accumulated from previous part(s) 75 %: discussion is valid, but did not really connect to part a 50 %: tried proving it, in a logically consistent manner from the previous part, but without success 25 %: only general case discussed, not this case, which required examination 0 %: answer missing, or completely incorrect }}}
