Even though the general framework of statistical mechanics is ultimately targeted at the description of macroscopic systems, it is illustrative to apply it first to some simple systems: a harmonic oscillator, a rotor, and a spin in a magnetic field. These applications serve to illustrate how a key function associated with the Gibbs state, the so-called partition function, is calculated in practice, how the entropy function is obtained via a Legendre transformation, and how such systems behave in the limits of high and low temperatures. After discussing these simple systems, this chapter considers a first example where multiple constituents are assembled into a macroscopic system: a basic model of a paramagnetic salt. It also investigates the size of energy fluctuations and how—in the case of the paramagnet—these fluctuations scale with the number of constituents.

Y-Ba-Cu-O films were made by R-F diode sputtering using a single oxide target. It was found that if a small negative bias is applied to the substrate, the etching associated with reactive sputtering is significantly reduced. This results in better composition control and uniformity, which are quite important for the formation of superconducting thin films. Films deposited on strontium titanate, when annealed in oxygen, become superconducting with zero resistance at 89 K.
