Transcribed Image Text:
1) [20 points] The density of copper is 8.96 g/cm³ and its atomic weight is 63.5 g/mol.
a. Calculate the Fermi energy for copper in electron volts. Assume that each copper atom
donates one free electron.
b. What is the velocity of an electron with this energy? Is it safe to assume that electrons in
copper are nonrelativistic?
c. At what temperature would the characteristic thermal energy kgT be equal to the Fermi
energy for copper? This temperature is known as the "Fermi temperature". As long as the
actual temperature of the solid is well below the Fermi temperature, the material can be
regarded as "cold" with most of its electrons in the lowest accessible state (the collective
ground state for the system). In this sense, would solid copper ever be considered "hot"?
