(a) If aandb are orthogonal, and both normalized, what is the constant A in Equation 5.10?

(b) Ifrole="math" localid="1658225858808" a=b (and it is normalized), what is A ? (This case, of course, occurs only for bosons.)

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The required constant A is 12.

(b) The a=b, A is 12.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of normalisation

In essence, normalizing the wave function entails figuring out the precise shape that guarantees the probability that the particle will be discovered somewhere in space is equal to 1 (i.e., it will be discovered somewhere); this typically entails solving for a constant while keeping in mind the restriction above that the probability is equal to 1.

02

Determine the normalization constant  A

(a)

Find the function's normalisation constant A.

For give equation-

(r1,r2)=A[a(r1)b(r2)b(r1)a(r2)]

It must be valid when it normalise the function:

1=*蠄诲3r1d3r2=A2ar1b,r2b(r1)a(r2)*ar1b,r2b(r1)a(r2)d3r1d3r21A2=ar12br22d3r1d3r2a*r1b,r1b*r2br2d3r1d3r2b*r1ar1a*r2b,r2d3r1d3r2+ar12br22d3r1d3r2=100+11A2=2A=12

Hence the value of A is, 12.

03

Determination of the A

(b)

ifa=bthen:

1=A22ar1ar2*2ar1ar2d3r1d3r2=4A2ar12d3r1ar22d3r2=4A2A=12

Hence the value of A is,12 .

Find the energy at the bottom of the first allowed band, for the case=10 , correct to three significant digits. For the sake of argument, assume a=1eV.

(a) Calculate<1/r1-r2>for the state0(Equation 5.30). Hint: Dod3r2integral

r1-r2=r12+r22-2r1r2肠辞蝉胃2.

The2integral is easy, but be careful to take the positive root. You鈥檒l have to

break ther2integral into two pieces, one ranging from 0 tor1,the other fromr1to

Answer: 5/4a.

(b) Use your result in (a) to estimate the electron interaction energy in the ground state of helium. Express your answer in electron volts, and add it toE0(Equation 5.31) to get a corrected estimate of the ground state energy. Compare the experimental value. (Of course, we鈥檙e still working with an approximate wave function, so don鈥檛 expect perfect agreement.)

E0=8-13.6eV=-109eV(5.31).

Imagine two non interacting particles, each of mass , in the one dimensional harmonic oscillator potential (Equation 2.43). If one is in the ground state, and the other is in the first excited state, calculate (x1-x2)2assuming
(a) they are distinguishable particles, (b) they are identical bosons, and (c) they are identical fermions. Ignore spin (if this bothers you, just assume they are both in the same spin state.)

The density of copper is8.96g/cm3,and its atomic weight is63.5g/mole

(a) Calculate the Fermi energy for copper (Equation 5.43). Assume d = 1, and give your answer in electron volts.

EF=22m3蚁蟺22/3 (5.43).

(b) What is the corresponding electron velocity? Hint: SetEF=1/2mv2Is it safe to assume the electrons in copper are nonrelativistic?

(c) At what temperature would the characteristic thermal energyrole="math" localid="1656065555994" (kBT,wherekBkBis the Boltzmann constant and T is the Kelvin temperature) equal the Fermi energy, for copper? Comment: This is called the Fermi temperature,TF

. As long as the actual temperature is substantially below the Fermi temperature, the material can be regarded as 鈥渃old,鈥 with most of the electrons in the lowest accessible state. Since the melting point of copper is 1356 K, solid copper is always cold.

(d) Calculate the degeneracy pressure (Equation 5.46) of copper, in the electron gas model.

P=23EtotV=232kF5102m=322/325m5/3

Thebulk modulus of a substance is the ratio of a small decrease in pressure to the resulting fractional increase in volume:

B=-VdPdV.

Show thatB=(5/3)P, in the free electron gas model, and use your result in Problem 5.16(d) to estimate the bulk modulus of copper. Comment: The observed value is 13.41010N/m2, but don鈥檛 expect perfect agreement鈥攁fter all, we鈥檙e neglecting all electron鈥搉ucleus and electron鈥揺lectron forces! Actually, it is rather surprising that this calculation comes as close as it does.
