The Fermi energy of aluminum is 11.6 eV; its density and molar mass are 2.70 g/cm3 and 27.0 g/mol, respectively. From these data, determine the number of conduction electrons per atom.
The Fermi energy is the highest energy of an electron at 0k.At what temperature can we expect a 10% probability that the electrons in silver have an energy that is 2% above the Fermi energy of 5.5eV?
At low temperatures, copper has a free-electron concentration n = 8.45 *1028 m-3. Using the free-electron model, find the Fermi energy for solid copper, and find the speed of an electron with a kinetic energy equal to the Fermi energy.
