Basic Assumptions of Electron Gas Model Metal: valence electrons → conduction electrons (moving freely) ü The simplest metals are the alkali metals—lithium, sodium, 2 potassium, cesium, and rubidium. 6.1 Electron Gas Model and its Ground State density of electrons: Zr n = N m A A where Z is # of conduction electrons per atom, A is relative atomic mass, rm is the density of mass in the metal. The spherical volume of each electron is, 1 3 1 V 4 3 æ 3 ö = = p rs rs = ç ÷ n N 3 è 4p nø Free electron gas model: Suppose, except the confining potential near surfaces of metals, conduction electrons are completely free. The conduction electrons thus behave just like gas atoms in an ideal gas --- free electron gas. 3 6.1 Electron Gas Model and its Ground State Basic Properties： ü Ignore interactions of electron-ion type (free electron approx.) ü And electron-eletron type (independent electron approx). Total energy are of kinetic type, ignore potential energy contribution. ü The classical theory had several conspicuous successes 4 6.1 Electron Gas Model and its Ground State Long Mean Free Path: ü From many types of experiments it is clear that a conduction electron in a metal can move freely in a straight path over many atomic distances. ü In a very pure specimen at low temperatures, the mean free path may be as long as 108 interatomic spacings (more than 1 cm). ü Condensed matter so transparent to conduction electrons: l Due to periodic lattice structure. l Due to quantum nature of electrons: Pauli exclusive principle. 5 6.1 Electron Gas Model and its Ground State II.

    K.-P. Dostal, Arnold Sommerfeld in einigen Zitaten von ihm und über ihn Seite 1 Karl-Peter Dostal, Arnold Sommerfeld in einigen Zitaten von ihm und über ihn1 Kurze biographische Bemerkungen Arnold Sommerfeld [* 5. Dezember 1868 in Königsberg, † 26. April 1951 in München] zählt neben Max Planck, Albert Einstein und Niels Bohr zu den Begründern der modernen theoretischen Physik. Durch die Ausarbeitung der Bohrschen Atomtheorie, als Lehrbuchautor (Atombau und Spektrallinien, Vorlesungen über theoretische Physik) und durch seine „Schule“ (zu der etwa die Nobelpreisträger Peter Debye, Wolfgang Pauli, Werner Heisenberg und Hans Bethe gehören) sorgte Sommerfeld wie kein anderer für die Verbreitung der modernen Physik.2 Je nach Auswahl könnte Sommerfeld [aber] nicht nur als theoretischer Physiker, sondern auch als Mathematiker, Techniker oder Wissenschaftsjournalist porträtiert werden.3 Als Schüler der Mathematiker Ferdinand von Lindemann, Adolf Hurwitz, David Hilbert und Felix Klein hatte sich Sommerfeld zunächst vor allem der Mathematik zugewandt (seine erste Professur: 1897 - 1900 für Mathematik an der Bergakademie Clausthal). Als Professor an der TH Aachen von 1900 - 1906 gewann er zunehmendes Interesse an der Technik. 1906 erhielt er den seit Jahren verwaisten Lehrstuhl für theoretische Physik in München, an dem er mit wenigen Unterbrechungen noch bis 1940 (und dann wieder ab 19464) unterrichtete. Im Gegensatz zur etablierten Experimen- talphysik war die theoretische Physik anfangs des 20. Jh. noch eine junge Disziplin. Sie wurde nun zu

Piezoelectricity Applications L1 : Solid State Physics Solid state physics is the study of rigid matter, or solids, ,through methods such as quantum mechanics, crystallography, electromagnetism and metallurgy. It is the largest branch of condensed matter physics. Solid-state physics studies how the large-scale properties of solid materials result from their atomic- scale properties. Thus, solid-state physics forms the theoretical basis of materials science. It also has direct applications, for example in the technology of transistors and semiconductors. Crystalline solids & Amorphous solids Solid materials are formed from densely-packed atoms, which interact intensely. These interactions produce : the mechanical (e.g. hardness and elasticity), thermal, electrical, magnetic and optical properties of solids. Depending on the material involved and the conditions in which it was formed , the atoms may be arranged in a regular, geometric pattern (crystalline solids, which include metals and ordinary water ice) , or irregularly (an amorphous solid such as common window glass). Crystalline solids & Amorphous solids The bulk of solid-state physics theory and research is focused on crystals.

Courtesy of AIP Emilio Segrè Visual Archives, Physics Today Collection KARL FERDINAND HERZFELD February 24, 1892–June 3, 1978 BY JOSEPH F. MULLIGAN ARL F. HERZFELD, BORN in Vienna, Austria, studied at the Kuniversity there and at the universities in Zurich and Göttingen and took courses at the ETH (Technical Insti- tute) in Zurich before receiving his Ph.D. from the University of Vienna in 1914. In 1925, after four years in the Austro- Hungarian Army during World War I and five years as Privatdozent in Munich with Professors Arnold Sommerfeld and Kasimir Fajans, he was named extraordinary professor of theoretical physics at Munich University. A year later he accepted a visiting professorship in the United States at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. This visiting position developed into a regular faculty appointment at Johns Hopkins, which he held until 1936. Herzfeld then moved to Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C., where he remained until his death in 1978. As physics chairman at Catholic University until 1961, Herzfeld built a small teaching-oriented department into a strong research department that achieved national renown for its programs in statistical mechanics, ultrasonics, and theoretical research on the structure of molecules, gases, liquids, and solids. During his career Herzfeld published about 140 research papers on physics and chemistry, wrote 3 4 BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIRS two important books: Kinetische Theorie der Wärme (1925), and (with T.

  • Chapter 13 Ideal Fermi
    Chapter 13 Ideal Fermi gas The properties of an ideal Fermi gas are strongly determined by the Pauli principle. We shall consider the limit: k T µ,βµ 1, B � � which defines the degenerate Fermi gas. In this limit, the quantum mechanical nature of the system becomes especially important, and the system has little to do with the classical ideal gas. Since this chapter is devoted to fermions, we shall omit in the following the subscript ( ) that we used for the fermionic statistical quantities in the previous chapter. − 13.1 Equation of state Consider a gas ofN non-interacting fermions, e.g., electrons, whose one-particle wave- functionsϕ r(�r) are plane-waves. In this case, a complete set of quantum numbersr is given, for instance, by the three cartesian components of the wave vector �k and thez spin projectionm s of an electron: r (k , k , k , m ). ≡ x y z s Spin-independent Hamiltonians. We will consider only spin independent Hamiltonian operator of the type ˆ 3 H= �k ck† ck + d r V(r)c r†cr , �k � where thefirst and the second terms are respectively the kinetic and th potential energy. The summation over the statesr (whenever it has to be performed) can then be reduced to the summation over states with different wavevectork(p=¯hk): ...

We find that SdH and ARPES probes quantitatively agree on measurements of the effective mass and bulk band dispersion. In high carrier density samples, the two probes also agree in the exact position of the Fermi level EF, but for lower carrier density samples discrepan- cies emerge in the position of EF. In particular, SdH reveals a bulk three-dimensional Fermi surface for samples with carrier densities as low as 1017 cm−3. We suggest a simple mechanism to explain these differ- ences and discuss consequences for existing and future transport studies of topological insulators.

  • Chapter 6 Free Electron Fermi
    Chapter 6 Free Electron Fermi Gas Free electron model: • The valence electrons of the constituent atoms become conduction electrons and move about freely through the volume of the metal. • The simplest metals are the alkali metals– lithium, sodium, potassium, Na, cesium, and rubidium. • The classical theory had several conspicuous successes, notably the derivation of the form of Ohm’s law and the relation between the electrical and thermal conductivity. • The classical theory fails to explain the heat capacity and the magnetic susceptibility of the conduction electrons. M = B • Why the electrons in a metal can move so freely without much deflections? (a) A conduction electron is not deflected by ion cores arranged on a periodic lattice, because matter waves propagate freely in a periodic structure. (b) A conduction electron is scattered only infrequently by other conduction electrons. Pauli exclusion principle.
