Boltzmann factor via state energy and temperature ================================================= The *Boltzmann factor* is an exponential factor that appears in many formulas of statistical physics and thermodynamics, e.g. the canonical partition function of a classical discrete system. **Notation:** #. :math:`k_\text{B}` (:code:`k_B`) is :attr:`~symplyphysics.quantities.boltzmann_constant`. **Links:** #. `Wikipedia `__. .. py:currentmodule:: symplyphysics.definitions.boltzmann_factor_via_state_energy_and_temperature .. py:data:: boltzmann_factor :attr:`~symplyphysics.symbols.thermodynamics.boltzmann_factor`.
