Three-dimensional Dirac oscillator in a thermal bath

Abstract

The thermal properties of the three-dimensional Dirac oscillator are\nconsidered. The canonical partition function is determined, and the\nhigh-temperature limit is assessed. The degeneracy of energy levels and their\nphysical implications on the main thermodynamic functions are analyzed,\nrevealing that these functions assume values greater than the one-dimensional\ncase. So that at high temperatures, the limit value of the specific heat is\nthree times bigger.\n
