摘要
When teaching thermal physics and statistical mechanics the authors find a lot of confusion among students about the meaning of the chemical potential mu. It seems particularly difficult for students to develop a physical picture of what mu is. In this paper some simple, pedagogical models are developed to make the meaning of mu clear, for a few selected systems. (C) 1995 American Association of Physics Teachers.
