Different descriptions of an adiabatic process based on statistical thermo-
dynamics and statistical mechanics are discussed. Equality of the so-called
adiabatic and isolated susceptibilities and its generalization as well as adia-
batic invariants are essentially used to describe adiabatic processes in the
framework of quantum and classical statistical mechanics. It is shown that
distribution function in adiabatic ensemble differs from a quasi-equilibrium
canonical form provided the heat capacity of the system is not constant in
adiabatic process.
Key words: adiabatic process, statistical ensembles, fluctuations, linear
and nonlinear response

1. Introduction
A concept of ensemble is one of the milestones in statistical physics. For a descrip-
tion of equilibrium states various ensembles are used – microcanonical, canonical,
grand canonical, and others, which are discussed in every fundamental course of
statistical physics (see, e.g., [1–3]).
Quasiequilibrium states which are realized in adiabatic processes differ from other
equilibrium states. Such adiabatic states are isolated from a heat bath but they
cannot be described with a microcanonical ensemble because its initial states usually
belong to canonical ensemble and are characterized by definite temperature value T .
It is well known that for macroscopic systems different ensembles give practically
the same average values of physical (thermodynamical) quantities. For this reason,
in particular, the problem of adiabatic ensemble was not investigated for a long
time. One of the aspects of this problem was run into for the first time in the middle
of the twentieth century when the values of the so-called adiabatic and isolated

susceptibilities were compared in the framework of linear response theory for isolated
spin-systems in solids [4,5].
Theory of linear response of macroscopic systems to a given external perturbation
is closely connected with the fluctuation-dissipation theorem [6] which was discussed
in a number of papers [7–11] with active participation of Yu.L.Klimontovich. The
results of this discussion were analyzed by Yu.L.Klimontovich in [12].
Linear response of a system or its susceptibility can be expressed in terms of
appropriate correlation functions [13]. This expression depends on the ensemble
used in its derivation. This nontrivial dependence on adiabatic ensemble and its
interesting but not well known consequences are discussed in section 2 of the present
paper in the framework of nonlinear response theory for isolated paramagnetic spin
system in solids. In section 3 properties of adiabatic and some other ensembles are
considered on the examples of one dimensional classical systems – a constrained
oscillator and a pair of identical Coulomb particles. Concluding remarks are given
in final section.
2. Nonlinear response theory and adiabatic ensemble for
isolated paramagnetic spin system in solids
Adiabatic process in macroscopic system in thermodynamical quasi-equilibrium
approximation can be described with the help of canonical distribution function or
density matrix of the form
ρc =
exp(−αĤ)
Tr exp(−αĤ)
, α =
1
kT
, (1)
where “Tr” means summation of diagonal matrix elements and Hamiltonian Ĥ(t)
corresponds to its instant value which is determined by the external field magnitude
H(t) at the instant t. Temperature value T (t) depends also on initial values of H0
and T0 and can be found from the conservation entropy condition
Tr ρc ln ρc ≡ 〈ln ρc〉c = const (2)
or the dynamic condition
Tr Ĥ

= 0, (3)
which should be satisfied by any density matrix in accordance with quantum Liou-
ville equation for isolated system

H(t) = H0 + h(t). From (1) and (3) it follows

, (5)
where ∆Ĥ = Ĥ − 〈Ĥ〉c and ∆M̂ = M̂ − 〈M̂〉c.
In the high temperature approximation
ρc ' [Î − αĤ]/Tr Î (6)
from (2) or (5) one obtains the following values of α, 〈M̂〉c, and adiabatic suscepti-
bility χs of the system

In the same time from equation (4) in the first order of time-dependent pertur-
bation theory (TPT) with respect to h(t) it follows for magnetic moment M (1)

where h(0) = 0. Adiabatic approximation means that the term with dh/dt1 in the
expression for M (1) can be neglected because adiabatic response should not depend
on relaxation parameters. From (10) for isolated susceptibility χis one has
χis =
dM (1)
dh
= α0
Tr M̂2

Tr Î
. (11)
Here M̂1 denotes nondiagonal part of M̂ in the representation where Ĥ0 is diagonal.
The nondiagonal part M̂1 appears in equations (10), (11) because the diagonal part
453
S.N.Andreev, A.A.Rukhadze, A.A.Samokhin
M̂d = M̂ − M̂1 gives no contribution to M (1) and to isolated susceptibility χis in
contrast to the case of isothermal susceptibility χ0 which contains the total operator
M̂ and differs from χis if H0 6= 0.
Thus, two different ways of calculating the adiabatic response give two expres-
sions (9) and (11) which are not identically equal to each other. However, for suffi-
ciently grand ( macroscopic) systems which can sustain internal equilibrium due to
internal interactions these expressions should be equal

Taking into account that Tr M̂2

Tr M̂2
d = Tr M̂2 H2

. (13)
The problem of equality χis = χs was discussed in many papers [4,5,14–27] but
it can hardly be considered as completely solved because it involves yet another
complicated problem about thermodynamical equilibration in an isolated system.
It is clear that equation (12) or (13) is a special case of more general relations of
this type. Consider, e.g., the case of sudden change of spin-system Hamiltonian from
Ĥ0 to Ĥ due to abrupt change of magnetic field from initial value H0 to the final
constant value H = H0 + h, where h is not necessarily small as compared with H0.
From the energy conservation relation Tr Ĥρ∞ = Tr Ĥρ0, ρ0 = [Î − α0Ĥ0]/Tr Î and
supposition concerning equilibrium form of the new density matrix ρ∞ at sufficiently
long time it follows
ρ∞ =
[Î − αĤ ]
Tr Î
, α = α0
Tr Ĥ0Ĥ
Tr Ĥ2
,
Tr M̂ρ∞ = χ0(H0 + h)
H2
i + H0(H0 + h)
H2
i + (H0 + h)2
. (14)
On the other hand, taking into account equation (4) with Ĥ = const, one can
express the new equilibrium density matrix in the form
ρ∞ ∼ [Î − α0(Ĥ0)d]
Tr Î
, (15)
where (Ĥ0)d means diagonal part of Ĥ0 in the representation which diagonalizes Ĥ .
Such a form of ρ∞ means that nondiagonal with respect to Ĥ part of ρ∞ gives no
contribution to mean values of physical quantities after retaining a new equilibrium
state of the system.
From the equality of the magnetic moment mean values obtained with the help
of (14) and (15) one has
Tr M̂d(Ĥ0)d = Tr M̂Ĥ
Tr ĤĤ0
Tr Ĥ2
. (16)
454
On the statistical mechanics of an adiabatic ensemble
This formula is of the same type as equation (13). However, in equation (16) diagonal
parts of operators correspond to the representation where Ĥ is diagonal.
Making use of the relations similar to (13) and (16) for factorization of traces of
diagonal part operator products in the higher order terms of TPT and neglecting
the terms irrelevant in an adiabatic approximation, one can obtain expression (8)
straightforwardly from a TPT-series for equation (4) without resort to quasiequilib-
rium canonical form of ρ [28].
If H0 = 0 and h(0) = 0 then for n-th order term of TPT series Tr M̂ρ(t) =

F̂ (n−1) = [. . . [M̂(t), M̂(t1)] . . . M̂(tn−1)](i~)1−n, F̂ (0)(t) = M̂(t). (17)
In this case operator M̂ contains only nondiagonal part while this is not so for higher
order products of M̂ .
Taking this fact into account one obtains
i~Tr F̂ (n−1)M̂(tn)=Tr {F̂ (n−2)
d [M̂(tn−1), M̂(tn)]d}+ Tr {F̂ (n−2)
1 [M̂(tn−1), M̂(tn)]1}.
(18)
The second term on the right hand side of (18) contains at least the third-order cor-
relation function and for this reason it can be neglected in adiabatic approximation.
With the help of the relation
Tr {F̂ (n−2)
d [M̂(tn−1), M̂(tn)]d}=Tr {F̂ (n−2)Ĥ0} · Tr {[M̂(tn−1), M̂(tn)]Ĥ0}/Tr Ĥ2

which corresponds to (8) at H0 = 0.
If no adiabatic approximation is used, then with the help of the natural gener-
alization of the above considered procedure one can obtain an integro-differential
equation for nonequilibrium non-linear response of the spin system, which contains
correlation functions of all orders [29]. At H0 = 0 and h(0) = 0 this equation is as

In adiabatic approximation from (24) it follows
H2
i M = −hE, (26)
and with the help of (25) this gives for E the equation H2dE/dt = −hd(hE)/dt
which has a solution
E = E0

. (27)
From (26) and (27) there follows the same expression for M as in equation (8)
at H0 = 0.
In the case of sudden change of magnetic field from zero value to h = const at
t > 0 equation (24) at sufficiently long times also reduces to equation (26) which in
this case gives
H2
i M = −hE = −h(E0 + hM), M = χ0h
H2

H2

. (28)
This expression for M coincides with expression (14) at H0 = 0. The case H0 6= 0
was considered in [30].
It is worthwhile noting that equation (24) reduces to (26) both in adiabatic and
sudden approximations in the long-time limit because only the term with the lowest
456
On the statistical mechanics of an adiabatic ensemble
order correlation functions ϕ(t − t1) at t = t1 contributes to equilibrium or quasi-
equilibrium values of M and E. This is in accordance with the known fact that
the properties of equilibrium states should not depend on relaxation parameters
[7,10,12].
In contrast to the mean values of energy and magnetic moment its fluctuations
depend on the ensemble used, i.e., on the form of the density matrix. In the canonical
ensemble, energy fluctuations are determined as follows
〈(∆Ĥ)2〉c = cΘ2, C =
d〈Ĥ〉c
dΘ
= α2〈(∆Ĥ)2〉c , Θ =
1
α
, (29)
where C denotes the system heat capacity. However, quasi-equilibrium canonical
density matrix ρc in general case is not a solution to equation (4) in the adiabatic
approximation [31]. From supposition that ρc is a solution to (4) in the adiabatic
process it follows that C does not change in this process

The first two terms on the right hand side of (30) cancel each other in accordance
with (5) while the last two terms are zero, if ρc is a solution to equation (4).
The condition C = const in an adiabatic process is met, e.g., for ideal gases
or for thermal radiation photons in perfectly reflecting cavity with slowly changing
volume. For the considered spin-system in the high temperature approximation the
value of C is also constant in adiabatic process as it is seen from (29) and (7). In a
more general case the condition C = const is not met so that the density matrix (1)
and equation (29) do not give a correct description of fluctuations in an adiabatic
process or in an adiabatic ensemble.
For this reason it useful to consider which expression for the energy fluctuations
can be obtained at less restrictive suppositions, not involving an explicit form of
the density matrix in adiabatic process. From equation (4) for energy fluctuations
evolution it follows
d

〈∆Ĥ2〉 = −2〈∆M̂∆Ĥ〉, (31)
where the brackets 〈. . .〉 mean the averaging with the help of an exact density matrix.
If one supposes the equality for ratios of the same fluctuations in quasiequilibrium
canonical and adiabatic ensembles [32]
〈∆M̂∆Ĥ〉
〈∆Ĥ2〉

then from (5), (31) and (32) one obtains the equation

where 〈. . .〉0 means the averaging over the initial density matrix ρ0 = ρc(0).
Formula (34) is a generalization of canonical expression (29) to the case, where
the system heat capacity is not constant in an adiabatic process. The formula (34)
was obtained at the third order approximation with respect to the inverse temper-
ature in a different way [33] with the help of relations like (13) and (16) which are
a generalized form of the relation χs = χis.
It is interesting to note that in the high temperature limit, when 〈∆Ĥ2〉 =
Tr Ĥ2/Tr Î is formally independent of temperature and the ensemble used, the ex-
pression (34) coincides with (7). The formula (34) was obtained also in [34] without
references to preceding papers.
The problem of statistical description of isolated system dynamical evolution is
a rather complicated one in the case of macroscopic (many particle) systems. For
this reason it is useful to consider an adiabatic ensemble behaviour of simple few
particle systems and compare it with other ensembles. It should be mentioned that
various aspects of this problem were considered in many papers (see e.g. [35–37] and
references therein).
3. Adiabatic and other ensembles of simple dynamical
systems
We consider here small systems composed of a one-dimensional oscillator and
one-dimensional symmetric Coulomb pair, whose motion is limited to absolutely
elastic walls on an interval [−L, L].
From the general expression for an adiabatic invariant [38]
G(E, L) = 2

E − U(x)dx, (35)
(E is total energy of a particle, m is its mass, p is its momentum, [xmin, xmax] is
the region of variation of the coordinate x admissible for the particle motion) for a
one-dimensional harmonic oscillator with Hamiltonial H(p, r) = p2/2m + mω2x2/2,
limited by adiabatically moving apart absolutely elastic walls on the interval [−L, L]
there follows the expression
G = G1(y, L) = 2mωL2
(
√
y − 1 + y · Arcsin
(
1√

))
, (36)
where y = E/U(L) = v2/ω2L2 + 1 > 1 is the mechanical parameter of system
perfection, U(L) is the potential energy of the particle at the point L, and v is the
particle velocity close to the wall. Note, that in the considered adiabatic process, the
oscillator trajectories naturally fall into three groups depending on the initial energy
E0. For E0 6 U(L0) = mω2L2
0/2 the oscillator do not interact with the wall even
in the initial position. If the initial energy E0 is large enough, E0 > E2 > E1 the
interaction with the wall will persist in the final state as well; otherwise the oscillator
458
On the statistical mechanics of an adiabatic ensemble
will cease the interaction with the wall at the position L? before the wall reaches the
final position L. If E0 = E2, then L? = L. For E0 > E2 the value of y can be found
from the relation G1(y, L) = G1(y0, L0). If U(L0) < E0 < E2, the y value becomes
unity at the point L? < L determined from the condition G1(1, L
?) = G1(y0, L0).
With a further increase of L the y value for a given trajectory is assumed to be equal
to unity and the total energy conserves the value E = U(L?) = mωL?2/2 it reached
at the wall position L?.
The adiabatic invariant of the motion of a symmetric Coulomb pair has the form

and U(L) is the potential energy of the particle at the point L. It is taken into
account here that the motion of a one-dimensional Coulomb pair between elastically
reflecting walls on the interval [−L, L] is equivalent to the motion, bounded by the
wall on the interval [0, L], of a single charged particle with Hamiltonian H(p, x) =
p2/2m + α/x in the Coulomb repulsion field with a potential center at the origin of
coordinates.
In the limit y → 1 the adiabatic invariant of the bounded oscillator (36) tends
to well-known expression E/ω = const for the adiabatic invariant of a free oscillator
with a slowly varying frequency. In the case of a symmetric Coulomb pair, in the limit
y → 1 expression (37) reduces to the form
√
L(y−1)3/2 = const or vL3/2 = const, i.e.,
the total energy of a Coulomb pair in an adiabatic process decreases continuously
with increasing L, as distinct from a bounded oscillator which at a certain value L?
stops interacting with the wall, after which its energy E = U(L?) remains unchanged.
In the inverse limit y → ∞ expressions (36) and (37) tend to the expression for
the adiabatic invariant of a free particle G = 4L
√
2mE = const (or vL = const)
whose motion is bounded by absolutely elastic walls on an interval [−L, L]. Note
that such a simple mechanical system makes it possible to derive some relations of
thermodynamics of a monoatomic ideal gas because the ideal gas model does not
involve the interaction of particles among themselves, and the interaction with the
walls is decisive.
Representing the temperature Θ as a double kinetic energy of the particle, which
corresponds to each translational degree of freedom, expressing the mean pressure
P = 2mv/2Sτ in terms of the momentum mv transferred by the particle to the wall
during collision for the period T = 2L/v per unit area S = Lk−1 (k = 1, 2, 3 for
one-, two-, and three-dimensional cases), we obtain the equation of ideal gas state,
PV = Θ (V = Lk is the system volume). Then substituting the relation vL = const
into the formula for P , we arrive at the equation of the adiabatic process for this
system:

dynamics of ideal gases. The mechanical interpretation of an adiabatic process for

an ideal gas is mentioned, for example, in [39,40] for k < 3, but is usually nev-
er considered in the presentation of thermodynamics in the courses of general and
theoretical physics.
Before proceeding to a consideration of an adiabatic process, we shall compare
equilibrium canonical and microcanonical ensembles for bounded oscillator and sym-
metric Coulomb pair. For these small systems the distinction between different en-
sembles manifests itself not only for fluctuations, but also for average values.
The distribution functions of a canonical and microcanonical ensembles are as
follows, correspondingly:
ρc(p, x) = A · exp (−H(p, x)/Θ) , (39)
ρm(p, x) = B · δ(E − H(p, x)), (40)
where the temperature Θ and the total energy E are parameters of corresponding
distributions. The normalization constants

and B = 1/T (E, L) ( where T (E, L) is period of the system oscillations) in (39) and
(40) are determined from the condition of equality to unity of the integral of the
distribution function over the entire range of variation of the momentum and the
coordinate.
The average kinetic energy in a canonical ensemble for a given systems has its
usual form 〈T 〉c = Θ/2. The average value of the total energy for the bounded
oscillator is described by the expression
〈E〉c = Θ (1 − h(µ)) , h−1(µ) = e1/µ√πµErf

we find 〈E〉c = α/L = U(L).
In the microcanonical ensemble the kinetic energy fluctuates instead of the full
energy. The average kinetic energy 〈T 〉m with respect to the microcanonical distri-

For equal E and 〈E〉c, in a canonical and a microcanonical ensembles the average
kinetic energies 〈T 〉c and 〈T 〉m for bounded oscillators and symmetric Coulomb pairs
depending on µ show (see figure 1) a substantial distinction in their behavior. In
the case of the bounded oscillator (figure 1, curve 1) this distinction reaches its
maximum 〈T 〉m/〈T 〉c = 0.69 at the point µ = 1.44, where the fluctuation distinction
in canonical and microcanonical ensembles turn out to be the most considerable ( at
this point “microcanonical” oscillator ceases the interaction with the walls, whereas
the part of “canonical” oscillators continue to interact with the walls). In the case
of symmetric Coulomb pair (figure 1, curve 2) the distinction reaches its maximum
〈T 〉m/〈T 〉c = 0.9 at the point µ = 1.91. In the high temperature (µ � 1) and low
temperature (µ � 1) limits for both systems microcanonical and canonical average
kinetic energies coincide, in spite of different forms of the distribution functions.

In considering an adiabatic process, which is the limiting case of nonequilibrium
processes, to find the distribution function one should analyze the dynamic evolution
of the systems of the ensemble on the phase plane.
If the Hamiltonian of the system is independent of time, the canonical and micro-
canonical distribution functions are equilibrium, i.e. invariable under the dynamic
evolution of the systems of the ensemble. This is explained by the fact that for
fixed energy the microcanonical distribution function is uniform with respect to
all the other variables, which means that it is uniform in time (time-independent).
The systems under consideration are obviously ergodic, i.e., the time average is co-
incident with the microcanonical ensemble average. The canonical ensemble is a
family of microcanonical ensembles distributed over the energy axis with a density
∼ exp(−E/Θ). The canonical distribution function is therefore also uniform in time.
To find the distribution function in a nonequilibrium process one should solve the
Liouville equation allowing for the dynamics of all systems entering the ensemble.
When considering the evolution of the initial equilibrium ensemble (depending on
energy only) in an adiabatic process, it is convenient to write the general solution
of Liouville equation in energy coordinates (E,−t) [42] canonically conjugated to
the coordinates (p, x) in which the coordinate E ∈ [0,∞] (the total energy) fixes
the phase trajectory on the phase plane and the coordinate t ∈ [0, T (E, L)] fixes the
position of the system on the phase trajectory. The general solution of the Liouville
equation in the coordinates (E,−t) has the form
ρ(E,−t) =
∫ ∞
0
∫ T (E0,L0)
0
δ (E − E(E0,−t0)) δ(−t + t(E0,−t0))ρ0(E0,−t0)dE0d(−t0)
(45)
where E(E0,−t0) and t(E0,−t0) are laws of evolution of the systems entering the
ensemble and T (E0,−t0) is the initial period of oscillations of the system with energy
E0.
In an adiabatic process the energy evolution law E(E0) (or E0(E)) is determined
by the constancy condition for the adiabatic invariant G(E, L); the final total energy
E of the system depends only on one initial condition – the initial total energy E0
and does not depend on the position of the system on the phase trajectory, i.e. on
t0. Uniformity of the distribution in time in an adiabatic process will hold provided
that the wall velocity is adiabatically switched on. If this condition is not met (wall
motion starts with a nonzero velocity), then uniformity in time will be violated in
spite of the low velocity.
We shall henceforth assume that in an adiabatic process the initial uniformity
in time is not violated. In this case, the relation between t0 and t takes on a sim-
ple form t/t0 = T (E, L)/T (E0, L0). Taking into account what has been said above
and passing over in expression (45) from the initial variables (E0,−t0) to the vari-
ables (E,−t) we arrive at the distribution function which comes from the initial
equilibrium distribution function in an adiabatic process

On the statistical mechanics of an adiabatic ensemble
Considering that in an adiabatic process dG(E, L)/dE = T (E, L) [43] or dE0/dE =
T (E, L)/T (E0, L0), from expression (46) we obtain the distribution function which
comes from the initial canonical function in an adiabatic process

exp(−E0(E)/Θ0)
∫∞

T (E, L0) exp(−E/Θ0)dE

For L = L0 we have E0(E) = E and expression (47) passes over to the initial
canonical distribution function ρc,0.
The adiabatic distribution function (47) identically meets the entropy constancy
condition Sis = 〈ln ρis〉is = const, where 〈. . .〉is is averaging over the adiabatic distri-
bution function. For quasi-equilibrium canonical distribution function this condition
is not an identity, but can be used to find the quasi-equilibrium temperature Θc in
an adiabatic process.
In general case, adiabatic and quasi-equilibrium canonical ensembles for small
systems differ not only in fluctuations but also in average quantities (see [44,45] and
references therein). At the same time, in the case of a linear relation between the
initial and final total energies of the system in an adiabatic process, the adiabatic
ensemble coincides with the quasi-equilibrium canonical one. The heat capacity C =
∂〈E〉c/∂Θ of the system is then conserved in the adiabatic process and is equal to
its initial value C0.

For the considered systems of independent bounded oscillators and symmetric
Coulomb pairs the linear relation between the initial and final total energies in an
adiabatic process holds in the limit y = E/U(L) → ∞, where, near the walls,
both these systems behave like free particles for which the relation between the
initial E0 and final E total energies in an adiabatic process has the form of direct
proportionality E0(E) = β2E, where β = L/L0. Moreover, for Coulomb pair in the
limit y → 1 the relation between E0 and E in an adiabatic process also becomes
linear and is given by the expression

as follows from the formula vL2/3 = const. Note, for the bounded oscillator in the
limit y → 1, as mentioned above, the relation between the initial and final total
energies in an adiabatic process vanishes at point β? = L?/L0, where E = U(L?).
Such a distinction in the behavior of the considered system in the limit y → 1 has
a significant effect on the behavior of average energies in an adiabatic and quasi-
equilibrium canonical ensembles.
Figures 2 and 3 present β−dependence of the normalized on initial values av-
erage adiabatic and quasi-equilibrium canonical total energies for various values of

respectively.

For Coulomb pair, average adiabatic and quasi-equilibrium canonical total ener-
gies practically coincide within the given graphical accuracy, as shown in figure 3.
The relative difference of average energies for Coulomb pair as a function of the
initial parameter µ0 for different β values is given in figure 4. The figure shows that
this difference first increases and then, on passing through the maximum, begins
decreasing and that the position and value of this maximum essentially depend on

β. This is explained by the fact that in the limits µ0 → 0 and µ0 → ∞, for most
of the Coulomb pairs in the ensemble, the relation of the energies E0(E) in an adi-
abatic process has a linear form and the adiabatic distribution function tends to
the canonical one. We note that for an ensemble of bounded oscillators the adia-
batic distribution function has a canonical form only in the high-temperature limit
µ0 → ∞.
In calculating the fluctuations in an adiabatic ensemble it is convinient to single
out the linear part explicitly in the expressions for E0(E) and E(E0) relating the
initial and the final energies in an adiabatic process:
E0(E) = l(β) + k(β)E + g(E, β), (49)
where l and k are coefficients independent of E state and g(E, β) is a nonlinear
residue. Similarly
E(E0) = l1(β) + E0/k(β) + f(E0, β), (50)
where the coefficient l1 is independent of E0 and f(E0, β) is the corresponding non-
linear residue.
The expression for the averge total energy in an adiabatic ensemble, written
down in the “Schrodinger” form (the evolution is determined by the distribution
function) with the use of formula (49) looks like

Fluctuations of the total energy in a quasi-equilibrium canonical ensemble are
related to the heat capacity C of the system as 〈(∆E)2〉c = CΘ2
c where Θc is the
temperature of the quasi-equilibrium ensemble.
In the case of a linear dependence E0(E) in expression (55), we have f = ∆f = 0,
the adiabatic distribution function coincides with the quasi-equilibrium canonical
function, the temperatures are 〈2K〉is = Θc = Θ = Θ0/k(β), and the heat capacity
C of the system remains constant (C = C0) in an adiabatic process. Equation (34)
will then hold identically.
Figure 5. Ratios ξ = 〈(∆E)2〉is/〈(∆E)2〉c and C0/C versus β for various values
of the initial parameter µ0 for a bounded oscillator. The family of curves (1)
corresponds to the quantity ξ and the family (2) corresponds to the heat capacity
ratio.
If the function E0(E) is nonlinear, the adiabatic and quasi-equilibrium canonical
ensembles differ in the average values, in particular, the adiabatic temperature Θis =
2〈2K〉is and the quasi-equilibrium canonical temperature Θc do not coincide with
each other and with the quantity Θ = Θ0/k(β) in expression (55). Therefore, the
relation between the adiabatic and quasi-equilibrium canonical fluctuations of the
total energy will not generally be described by formula (34) which was derived for
large systems in the thermodynamic limit. The difference from formula (34) is clearly
seen in figure 5 which gives the ratios ξ = 〈(∆E)2〉is/〈(∆E)2〉c and C0/C as function
of β for different values of the initial parameter µ0 for the bounded oscillator. The
ratio of heat capacities (the family of curves 2) tends to a value 1/2, whereas the

ratio of fluctuations ξ (the family of curves 1) tends to another limiting value of
0.59.
As distinct from the bounded oscillator, for a symmetric Coulomb pair re-
lation (34) holds to a much higher accuracy. Figure 6 presents the ratio ξ =
〈(∆E)2〉is/〈(∆E)2〉c as a function of β for various values of the initial parameter
µ0. This ratio coincides to the graphic precision with C0/C. The intersection of
curves in the figure is due to the above-mentioned fact that the adiabatic ensemble
tends to the canonical one in the limits µ0 → 0 and µ0 → ∞.
The deviation from formula (34), depicted in figure 7, for a symmetric Coulomb
pair λ = ((ξ − C0/C)/ξ)100% (where ξ and C0/C change by more than 15%) does
not exceed three percent in the considered range of parameters. Thus, the behavior
of energy fluctuations in an adiabatic ensemble for Coulomb pairs turns out to be
rather close to the expression that describes energy fluctuations in an adiabatic
ensemble for large systems [30].

4. Conclusion
The results presented in this paper show that the relations of type χs = χis play
a significant role in quantum statistical mechanics of isolated systems which can at-
tain statistical equilibrium due to internal interactions. The equality of adiabatic χs
and isolated χis susceptibilities stems from the subtle form of ensemble dependence
which manifests itself in the linear response theory for isolated systems. General-
izations of this equality can be effectively used in the theory of nonlinear response,
in particular, to obtain an adiabatic approximation of the nonlinear response or in
the description of the adiabatic ensemble which differs from the quasi-equilibrium
canonical ensemble if the system heat capacity changes in the adiabatic process.
From the results obtained in this paper there also follow specific features of
statistical ensembles for small (one-particle and one dimensional) nonideal indepen-
dent systems – the harmonic oscillator and the symmetric Coulomb pair – whose
motion is limited to motionless or slowly moving apart elastic walls. As expected,
the canonical and microcanonical ensembles for such systems differ not only in their
fluctuations but also in average values. Less obvious are the results of comparison
of quasi-equilibrium canonical and adiabatic ensembles. These ensembles also differ
in their average values (especially in the case of a bounded oscillator), but the be-
haviour of energy fluctuations in an adiabatic ensemble for Coulomb pairs appears
to be rather close to the expression (34) describing the energy fluctuations in an
adiabatic ensemble for large systems.

Обговорюються різноманітні підходи до опису адіабатичних проце-
сів на основі термодинаміки та статистичної механіки. Для опису
адіабатичних процесів в рамках класичної та квантової статистичної
механіки використовуються рівняння для так званих адіабатичної та
ізольованої сприйнятностей і їх узагальнення, а також адіабатичні ін-
варіанти. Показано, що функція розподілу в адіабатичному ансамблі
відрізняється від квазірівноважної канонічної форми при умові, що
теплоємність системи при адіабатичному процесі є змінною.
Ключові слова: адіабатичні процеси, статистичні ансамблі,
флуктуації, лінійний та нелінійний відгук
