There is a minimum energy of (.5[hbar][omega]) in any vibrating system; this energy is sometimes known as the zero-point motion. (a) Use an argument based on the uncertainty principle to explain why the vibrating system can never have E=0. (b) The hydrogen molecule H2 can be treated as a vibrating system, with an effective force constant k=3.5 x 103 eV/nm2. Compute the zero-point energy of one of the protons in H2. How does it compare with the molecular binding energy of 4.5 eV? (c) Compute the amplitude of the zero-point motion and compare with the atomic spacing of 0.074 nm
Consider a crystal containing N identical atoms. As a crude approximation, assume that each atom is under the effect of a 3D harmonic potential which keeps it localized, and that atoms do not interact with each other. We have therefore 3N simple quantum harmonic oscillators, all of them with the same angular frequency w, that do not interact with each other. Recall that each harmonic oscillator has the energy levels En = ħw(n + 1/{ ), 0, 1, 2, . n = (a) Compute the canonical partition function Q(T, N), the free energy A(T, N), the internal energy E(T, N), the heat capacity C(T, N), and the entropy S(T, N) for the Einstein solid.
Consider n-doped Ge with N=10¹8 cm-³ with mobility 300 cm²/Vs at room temperature T=300 K. Calculate approximate thermoelectric transport coefficients: 1) mean free path, 2) resistivity, 3) Seebeck coefficient, 4) Peltier coefficient, and 5) electronic thermal conductivity. Use materials parameters for the effective density of states in the conduction band N=10¹⁹ cm³³.
