Abstract

It is shown that a system made up of nuclei and electrons, the constituents of ordinary matter, has a well-defined statistical-mechanically computed free energy per unit volume in the thermodynamic (bulk) limit. This proves that statistical mechanics, as developed by Gibbs, really leads to a proper thermodynamics for macroscopic systems.
