The defining of temperature for unconstrained system is given by 3/2NKBT ) Ói)1 N Ei, where KB is the Boltzmann constant, N is the number of atoms, T is the temperature, and Ei is the kinetic energy per atom. Assuming all atoms have the same kinetic energy, then according to the temperature equation, the corresponding temperature change T induced by energy change E can be approximately expressed as follows: 3KBT/2 ) E.
