Although the integrals (7.53and 7.54) forNand Ucannot be

carried out analytically for all T, it's not difficult to evaluate them numerically

using a computer. This calculation has little relevance for electrons in metals (for

which the limit kT<<EFis always sufficient), but it is needed for liquid H3eand

for astrophysical systems like the electrons at the center of the sun.

(a) As a warm-up exercise, evaluate theNintegral (7.53) for the casekT=F

and =0, and check that your answer is consistent with the graph shown

above. (Hint: As always when solving a problem on a computer, it's best to

first put everything in terms of dimensionless variables. So let t=kTFrole="math" localid="1649996205331" ,c=F

, and x=kT. Rewrite everything in terms of these variables,

and then put it on the computer.)

(b) The next step is to vary holdingT fixed, until the integral works out to

the desired value,N. Do this for values of kTFranging from 0.1 up to 2,

and plot the results to reproduce Figure7.16. (It's probably not a good idea

to try to use numerical methods when kTF is much smaller than 0.1, since

you can start getting overflow errors from exponentiating large numbers.

But this is the region where we've already solved the problem analytically.)

(c) Plug your calculated values of碌 into the energy integral (7.54), and evaluate

that integral numerically to obtain the energy as a function of temperature

forkTup to 2F Plot the results, and evaluate the slope to obtain the

heat capacity. Check that the heat capacity has the expected behavior at

both low and high temperatures.

a) The value of Nintegral is 1.0171.

b) The value of c=-0.0215

c) We get the final equation asUNF=320x3/2ex-ct+1dx

Step by step solution

01

Part(a) Step 1: Given information 

We have to find that evaluation theNintegral (7.53) for the casekT0and =0, and checking the answer is consistent with the graph shown above.

02

Part(a) Step 2: Simplify 

To find no. of particles,

N=0g1e-kT+1dg=3N2F3/2

putting these things, N=03N2F3/21e-kT+1d1=032F3/21e-kT+1d

We assume , t=kTF,c=F,x=Fdx=dF

We get , 1=320xex-c/t+1dx1=320xex/t+1dx

using Matlab , RHS integral can be calculated , it comes out to be 1.017, so is not equals to 0 when F=kT.

03

Part(b) Step 1: Given information 

We need to varyholding Tfixed, to get the desired value,N, for values of kT/Franging from 0.1up to 2,and plotting the results to reproduce Figure 7.15

04

Part(b) Step 2: Simplify 

Here, for specific value of cand , we well find integral , also temperature will be fixed, so we assume the value oft=1. We will find the value of c,so that we get correct result of integral which is 1,to find this we will use Matlab. With respect to the two variables,x andc, equation 1 will be defined, we will integrate with respect to xfrom 0and , so here function will be in variable only, we will calculate the value of c , the interval will be from -1to 0.1 ,

So, c=-0.0215.

Then , We will find constant with different temperatures value, here t will be changed and same instructions will be done . The interval of solutions, will also be changed from -1to 2. We will changetfrom 0.1to 2.0. The following graph will be obtained.

05

Part(c) Step 1: Given information 

We are asked to check that the heat capacity has the expected behavior at both low and high temperatures.

06

Part(c) Step 2: Simplify 

By plotting data in Excel, we will add trend line to actually see the equation which fits into data ,

Here, the equation between tand cfrom graph can be seen ,

c=-08469t2-0.2019x+1.0412U=0g1e-kT+1d

We can find the value of energy density here as;

g=3N2F3/2t=kTF,c=F,x=Fdx=dF

Finally , UNF=320x3/2ex-ct+1dx


We can find heat capacity by doing partial derivative of total energy with respect to to temperature.

The heat capacity of liquid H4ebelow 0.6Kis proportional to T3, with the measured valueCV/Nk=(T/4.67K)3. This behavior suggests that the dominant excitations at low temperature are long-wavelength photons. The only important difference between photons in a liquid and photons in a solid is that a liquid cannot transmit transversely polarized waves-sound waves must be longitudinal. The speed of sound in liquid He4is 238m/s, and the density is 0.145g/cm3. From these numbers, calculate the photon contribution to the heat capacity ofHe4in the low-temperature limit, and compare to the measured value.

Sketch the heat capacity of copper as a function of temperature from 0to5K, showing the contributions of lattice vibrations and conduction electrons separately. At what temperature are these two contributions equal?

The argument given above for why CvTdoes not depend on the details of the energy levels available to the fermions, so it should also apply to the model considered in Problem 7.16: a gas of fermions trapped in such a way that the energy levels are evenly spaced and non-degenerate.

(a) Show that, in this model, the number of possible system states for a given value of q is equal to the number of distinct ways of writing q as a sum of positive integers. (For example, there are three system states for q = 3, corresponding to the sums 3, 2 + 1, and 1 + 1 + 1. Note that 2 + 1 and 1 + 2 are not counted separately.) This combinatorial function is called the number of unrestricted partitions of q, denoted p(q). For example, p(3) = 3.

(b) By enumerating the partitions explicitly, compute p(7) and p(8).

(c) Make a table of p(q) for values of q up to 100, by either looking up the values in a mathematical reference book, or using a software package that can compute them, or writing your own program to compute them. From this table, compute the entropy, temperature, and heat capacity of this system, using the same methods as in Section 3.3. Plot the heat capacity as a function of temperature, and note that it is approximately linear.

(d) Ramanujan and Hardy (two famous mathematicians) have shown that when q is large, the number of unrestricted partitions of q is given approximately by

p(q)e2q343q

Check the accuracy of this formula for q = 10 and for q = 100. Working in this approximation, calculate the entropy, temperature, and heat capacity of this system. Express the heat. capacity as a series in decreasing powers of kT/, assuming that this ratio is large and keeping the two largest terms. Compare to the numerical results you obtained in part (c). Why is the heat capacity of this system independent of N, unlike that of the three dimensional box of fermions discussed in the text?

Consider two single-particle states, A and B, in a system of fermions, where A=-xand B=+x; that is, level A lies below by the same amount that level B lies above . Prove that the probability of level B being occupied is the same as the probability of level A being unoccupied. In other words, the Fermi-Dirac distribution is "symmetrical" about the point where =.

Most spin-1/2 fermions, including electrons and helium-3 atoms, have nonzero magnetic moments. A gas of such particles is therefore paramagnetic. Consider, for example, a gas of free electrons, confined inside a three-dimensional box. The z component of the magnetic moment of each electron is 卤碌a. In the presence of a magnetic field B pointing in the z direction, each "up" state acquires an additional energy of -BB, while each "down" state acquires an additional energy of +BB

(a) Explain why you would expect the magnetization of a degenerate electron gas to be substantially less than that of the electronic paramagnets studied in Chapters 3 and 6, for a given number of particles at a given field strength.

(b) Write down a formula for the density of states of this system in the presence of a magnetic field B, and interpret your formula graphically.

(c) The magnetization of this system is BN-N, where Nr and N1 are the numbers of electrons with up and down magnetic moments, respectively. Find a formula for the magnetization of this system at T=0, in terms of N, 碌a, B, and the Fermi energy.

(d) Find the first temperature-dependent correction to your answer to part (c), in the limit TTF. You may assume that BBkT; this implies that the presence of the magnetic field has negligible effect on the chemical potential . (To avoid confusing 碌B with 碌, I suggest using an abbreviation such as o for the quantity 碌aB.)
