= 3/2N[k.sub.B]T, where N represents the total number of particles and [k.sub.B] is Boltzmann's constant. Note that this expression does not address any contribution to the total kinetic energy which this enclosed system might gain if it were in motion relative to another object.
At high temperatures the spin-entropy thermopower can be described by the Heikes function, S = [k.sub.B] x ln([g.sub.s] x [g.sub.c]), where [g.sub.s] is the spin degeneracy, [g.sub.c] is the configurational degeneracy, and [k.sub.B] is Boltzmann's constant [21].
