Extract

When the approximate methods of Bragg and Williams or Bethe are used in theoretical work on cooperative phenomena it is customary to suppose that only the configurational energy of the assembly depends on the molecular arrangement; the contribution which a molecule makes to the partition function, apart from its share in this configurational energy, is supposed to be independent of the positions of the other molecules.
