1. The Fermi temperature of a substance, TF, is the temperature at which the thermal energy of the substance equals the Fermi energy: k TF = EF, where k is Boltzmann's constant. This can be thought of as the temperature at which thermal effects of a system are comparable to quantum effects due to Fermi statistics (which follow from the Pauli exclusion principle for fermions). (a) Determine the Fermi temperature of copper. (b) For copper at room temperature, do you expect thermal effects to play a significant role in copper's band structure, band gap, etc.? Why or why not?

Fermi Energy Eqn. 4.22 in Kasap gives the Fermi energy (at 0 K) as is the conduction electron concentration. This is equivalent to the equation we derived in class. Kasap Eqn. 4.23 gives the Fermi energy as a function of temperature: EFEF1 a. If each copper atom contributes one conduction electron, what is the Fermi energy of copper at 29:3 b.

Problem #4 (MATLAB) Band gap EG versus T As the temperature increases, the crystal lattice expands, which leads to a weakening of the inter-atomic bonds and an associated decrease in the band gap energy (why?). For many semiconductors the cited variation of the band gap energy with temperature can be modeled by the empirical relationship: aT2 a and B are constants chosen to obtain the best fit to experimental data and E (0) is the limiting where (greatest) value of...
