6 Thermal conductivity The thermal conductivity coefficient K of a solid is defined as, dt ju K, where ju is the flux of thermal energy, and dx x is distance. From the kinetic theory of gases we find 1 1 K Cvl Cv, where C is the heat capacity per volume, 3 3 v is the average particle velocity, and l is the mean free 1 path of a particle between collisions, is the phonon collision rate.

8 Chapter 6: Free electron Fermi gas Under quantum theory and the Pauli exclusion principle, we consider N of single electron is ( r ), then 3 noninteracting electrons confined to a volume V( L ). If the wave function ( r ) ( r ) ( r ). m x y z m Applying boundary condition ( xyz,, L) ( xyz,, ); ( xy, Lz, ) ( xyz,, ); ( x Lyz,, L) ( xyz,, ). The solutions are 1 ik r k ( r K ) e, ( k ). Note the probability of V m finding the electron somewhere in the volume is 1 dr ( r ). Dai/PHYS 34/555 Spring 013 Review 1-8
9 Note that K ( r ) is an eigenstate of the momentum operator, ik r ik r p, e ke i r i i r an electron in the level K ( r) has a momentum p k and a velocity v p / mk / m, where / k. Periodic boundary condition requires ik xl ikyl ikzl n n x y nz e e e 1 or k x, k y, k z L L L Thus in a 3-D k-space, the allowed wavevectors are those along the three axes given integer mutiples of. L Dai/PHYS 34/555 Spring 013 Review 1-9
10 To calculate the allowed states in a region of k-space volume, V ( / L) ( ) 3 3 or the number of allowed k-values per unit volume of k-space (known as the k-space density of levels) is V. Because the electrons are noninteracting we can built up 3 ( ) the N-electron ground state by placing electrons into the allowed one-electron levels. Pauli exclusion principle allows each wavevector to have electronic levels with spins up and down. Dai/PHYS 34/555 Spring 013 Review 1-10
11 Since the energy of a one-electron electron level is directly proportional to k, when N is enormous the occupied region will be indistinguishable from a sphere. The radius of this sphere is called k F (F for F ermi), 3 and its volume is 4 k / 3. The # of allowed k within the sphere is: 4 k V k F F 3 F V. Since each allowed k-value leads to two 3 3 kf kf one-electron levels, we must have N V V If electron density is n N / V, then we have n k / 3. F Dai/PHYS 34/555 Spring 013 Review 1-11
12 The sphere of radius k F containing the occupied one eletron levels is called the Fermi sphere. The Surface of the Fermi sphere, which separate the occupied form the unoccupied levels is called the Fermi surface. 3 N The momentum pf kf= of the occupied V one-electron levels of highest energy is the Fermi momentum. 1/3 F 3 N kf / m is the Fermi energy; m V /3 3 N v F p F / m( ) m V 1/3 is the Fermi velocity.

However, when T 0 some electrons will be thermally excited to unoccupied bands (conduction bands). If the enegy gap E the gap is of order g E e 0.5 ev, the fraction of electrons across g /k T B 10, and observable conductivity will occur. These materials are semiconductors.

28 Free electrons in a uniform magnetic field The orbital energy levels of an electron in a cubic box with sides of length L parallel to the x-, y-, and z-axes are determined in the presence of a uniform magnetic field H along the z-direction by two quantum numbers, and k : 1 eh kz kz ( ) c, c. m mc runs through all nonmagnetic integers, and kz takes on the same values as in the absence of a magnetic field: kz nz / L for any integral nz. The energy of motion perpendicular p to the field, which would be ( kx ky) / m if no field were present, is quantized in steps of ( eh / mc). This is orbit quantization. c c z Dai/PHYS 34/555 Spring 013 Review 1-8
