摘要

The velocity distribution functions of particles in one- and three-dimensional harmonic solids are investigated through molecular dynamics simulations. It is shown that, as in the case of dense fluids, these distribution functions still obey the Maxwell-Boltzmann law and the assumption of molecular chaos remains valid even at low temperatures.
