Zusammenfassung: | We argue that the approximate analytical expression for the canonical partition function for a particle in a box proposed recently was derived earlier by other authors in a more straightforward and efficient way. We also show that the canonical partition function for the particle in a finite box derived by the same authors is incorrect because they overlooked the contribution of the continuum spectrum. |
