Determine the density of statesD(E)for a 2D infinite well (ignoring spin) in whichEnx,ny=(nx2+ny2)222mL2

Short Answer

Expert verified

The density of the given energy state is mL222.

Step by step solution

01

Formula used

The base equation for the density of states is,

D(E)=differentialnumberofstatesinrangedEdE.

02

Calculate density of energy state 

Given equation

Enx,ny=(nx2+ny2)222mL2 鈥︹. (1)

n2=nx2+ny2

Substituten2 for inx2+ny2n equation (1).

Enx,ny=(nx2+ny2)222mL2

Solve that for n,

En=n2222mL22mLEn22=n2n=(2mLEn22)1/2

Differentiate on both sides with respective to energyE .

dndE=12(2mL222En)1/2

Differential number of states in rangedE=142ndn

Here,14 is because we are just using positive values from nxand ,ny meaning that only one quadrant is being looked at, or just 1/4of the total circumference.

Divide withdE on both sides,

DiferntialnumberofstatesinrangedEdE=142ndndED(E)=142ndndE

Substitute(2mLEn22)1/2for nand12(2mL222En)1/2fordndE,

D(E)=142ndndE=142[(2mL2En22)1/2][12(2mL222En)1/2]=4(2mL222)=mL222

The density of the given energy state ismL222 .

Exercise 52 gives the Boltzmann distribution for the special case of simple harmonic oscillators, expressed in terms of the constant =狈丑蝇0/(2s+1). Exercise 53 gives the Bose-Einstein and Fermi-Dirac distributions in that case. Consider a temperature low enough that we might expect multiple particles to crowd into lower energy states:kBT=15. How many oscillators would be expected in a state of the lowest energy,E=0? Consider all three-classically distinguishable. boson, and fermion oscillators - and comment on the differences.

The Fermi velocityVfis defined byEF=12msF2, whereEFis the Fermi energy. The Fermi energy for conduction electron in sodium is 3 IV. (a) Calculate the Fermis velocity (b) What would be the wavelength of an electron with this velocity? (c) If each sodium atom contributes one conduction electron to the electron gas and sodium atom are spaced roughly0.37nmapart. If it is necessary, by the criteria of equation (9-43), to treat the conduction electron gas as quantum gas?

This problem investigates what fraction of the available charge must be transferred from one conductor to another to produce a typical contact potential. (a) As a rough approximation treat the conductors as10cmx 10 cm square plates2cm apart-a parallel-plate capacitors so thatq=CV , where C=0(0.01m2/0.02m). How much charge must be transferred from one plate to the other to produce a potential difference of 2V?(b) Approximately what fraction would this be of the total number of conduction electrons in a 100gpiece of copper. which has one conduction electron per atom?

Consider a system of one-dimensional spinless particles in a box (see Section 5.5) somehow exchanging energy. Through steps similar to those giving equation (9-27). show that

Figure 9.8 cannot do justice to values at the very highspeed end of the plot. This exercise investigates how small it really gets. However, although integrating the Maxwell speed distribution over the full range of speeds from 0 to infinity can be carried out (the so-called Gaussian integrals of Appendix K), over any restricted range, it is one of those integrals that. unfortunately. cannot be done in closed form. Using a computational aid of your choice. show that the fraction of molecules moving faster thanis; faster than6vrmsis-10-23; and faster than10vmsis~10-64. wherevrms" from Exercise 41, is3kBT/m. (Exercise 48 uses these values in an interesting application.)
