Line 1:

The '''vibrational partition function'''<ref name="McQuarrie">Donald A. McQuarrie, ''Statistical Mechanics'', Harper & Row, 1973</ref> traditionally refers to the component of the [[canonical partition function]] resulting from the vibrational degrees of freedom of a system. The vibrational partition function is only well-defined in model systems where the vibrational motion is relatively uncoupled with the system's other degrees of freedom.
