Abstract

Correction for ‘Temperature-dependent energy levels and size-independent thermodynamics’ by Rodrigo de Miguel, Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2015, 17, 15691–15693.


On page 15692, the paragraph leading up to eqn (13) and eqn (13) itself should be amended as follows:

If there is only enough energy for one of the N particles to be in the upper level, then the system will have multiplicity N. By enforcing the condition that when n = 1 the temperature must be equal to image file: c5cp90177d-t4.tif/(kB[thin space (1/6-em)]ln[thin space (1/6-em)]N), we obtain 〈dimage file: c5cp90177d-t1.tifμ/dT〉 = kB(1 + ln[thin space (1/6-em)]N − H[N − 1]), and the energy image file: c5cp90177d-t2.tif finally results in

 
image file: c5cp90177d-t3.tif = (1 + ln[thin space (1/6-em)]N − H[N − 1] + n(H[Nn] − H[n]))kBT.(13)
The Royal Society of Chemistry apologises for these errors and any consequent inconvenience to authors and readers.
