10-18. Consider a system in which the density of states of the electrons f(ɛ) is
f(E) = constant = D
ɛ>0
ɛ<0
Calculate the Fermi energy for this system; determine the condition for the system being
highly degenerate; and then show that the heat capacity is proportional to T for the highly
degenerate case.
.In sodium there are about 2.6 x 1028 conduction electrons per cubic metre
which behave as a free electron gas. Fronm these facts estimate the Fermi
energy of the gas and an approximate value of the molar electronic heat
capacity at 300K.
