Enter the two-level energy gap ΔE (eV) and absolute temperature T; compute the high-to-low level particle ratio N₂/N₁ = exp(−ΔE/kT to understand how higher temperature increases upper-level occupancy.
输入能级差 ΔE(eV)与温度 T,求两能级粒子数比。
| Item | Formula / Note | Source / Standard |
|---|---|---|
| Boltzmann distribution | N₂/N₁ = (g₂/g₁)e^(−ΔE/kT) | Boltzmann statistics |
| Degeneracy | g is level degeneracy | Statistical physics |
| Population inversion | Requires pumping for N₂ > N₁ | Laser principles |
| Partition function | Z = Σgᵢe^(−Eᵢ/kT) | Statistical mechanics |
| Temperature | k_B = 1.380649×10⁻²³ J/K | SI 2019 |
| Applications | Spectra, lasers, chemistry | Molecular spectroscopy |

| Constant | Value | Unit | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Boltzmann constant k (k_B) | 1.380649 × 10⁻²³ | J·K⁻¹ | SI defining constant (exact) |
| Elementary charge e | 1.602176634 × 10⁻¹⁹ | C | SI defining constant (exact) |
Note: k and e are exact SI defining constants; when ΔE is given in eV it must be multiplied by e to convert to joules in ΔE/kT.
