Cluster expansion for the description of condensed state: crystalline cell approach

A well-known cluster expansion, which leads to virial expansion for the free energy of low density systems, is modified in such a way that it becomes applicable to the description of condensed state of matter. To this end, the averaging of individual clusters over the states of an ideal gas is replaced by the averaging over the states of a non-correlated crystal using single-particle cell potentials. As a result, we arrive at the expansion of the partition function in correlations on the basis of single-particle functions corresponding to the multiplicative approximation. The cell potentials defining these functions are found from the condition of the minimum of the remainder in the constructed decomposition.Comment: 16 page

Teacher development-focused INSET course sample materials and procedures

Teacher development is considered as a concept denoting a teacher’s personal and professional self-improvement, and a movement promoting this self-improvement, as a lifelong process of learning and renewal. In order to stimulate the teacher’s self-paced lifelong growth the author suggests some samples of tasks of our INSET course.Професійне вдосконалення розглядається як концепт, пов'язаний з власним та професійним вдосконленням та процес, який веде до самовдосконалення. Цей процес продовжується протягом всього життя, як процес навчання та оновлення. Для стимулювання цього процесу автор пропонує деякі зразки завдань для курсів підвищення кваліфікації викладачів англійської мови
