Use the result of Problem 23 to calculate the total translational kinetic energy of the conduction electrons in of copper at T = 0K.
The compound gallium arsenide is a commonly used semiconductor, has an energy gap . Its crystal structure is like that of silicon, except that half the silicon atoms are replaced by gallium atoms and half by arsenic atoms. Draw a flattened-out sketch of the gallium arsenide lattice, following the pattern of Fig. 41-10a.What is the net charge of the (a) gallium and (b) arsenic ion core? (c) How many electrons per bond are there? (Hint:Consult the periodic table in Appendix G.)
A potassium chloride crystal has an energy band gap of 7.6eV above the topmost occupied band, which is full. Is this crystal opaque or transparent to light of wavelength 140 nm?
(a) Find the angle between adjacent nearest-neighbor bonds in the silicon lattice. Recall that each silicon atom is bonded to four of its nearest neighbors. The four neighbors form a regular tetrahedron—a pyramid whose sides and base are equilateral triangles. (b) Find the bond length, given that the atoms at the corners of the tetrahedron are 388pm apart.
