Abstract | Our protagonist here is the electronic contribution to the canonical ensemble partition function of the hydrogen atom. It is well known that it poses an intriguing paradox, (Blinder, 1995). We attempt to solve it by appeal to a mathematical zeta function’s regularization technique.
•We give a possible solution to the paradox of the partition function of the hydrogen atom.•We use zeta function regularization.•We evaluate the partition function and the mean energy.•We obtain the corresponding specific heat. |
