Failures and successes of the free electron model

Temperature dependence on the electric conduc1vity j e = E = ne2 m electron gas electron- phonon coupling Drude s model predicts that σ is independent of temperature unless we put in by hand that = (T ) electrical conductivity is about momentum transfer Superconductor R 1

Temperature dependence on the thermal conduc1vity electron gas phonons j Q = rt = 2 3 k 2 B Tn m METAL Trea<ng the electron gas as non- interac<ng fermions gives (only) the correct low temperature behaviour for metals. thermal conductivity is about energy transfer NON- METAL

Thermal conduc1vity of diamond

Temperature dependence on the specific heat c v = u T V 3nk B T T 3 c v = 2 2 k B T F nk B Diamond Again, only the low temperature behaviour for metals is fairly well described. For high temperatures one needs to consider heat carried by the ion cores

Hall coefficient Free electron theory predicts: - Constant Hall coefficient R H =- (nec) - 1 - Hall voltage independent of H The free electron result works well for alkali metals (Na, Li, K) but fails for Al, Mg and many more (see AM Tab. 1.4). The Hall effect is a powerful way to discover anomalous proper<es of materials! Normalised Hall coefficient for two types of high temperature super- conductors. No<ce the sign shig.

More problems Direc1on of DC current: Does not need to be parallel to the applied electric field! Too long mean free path: v F = p 2 F /m 10 100Å and mysteries Why are some materials metals and others insulators?

Review of main assump1ons 1. Free electron approxima1on The ion cores play no other role than source of collisions. Between the collisions they do not affect the electron s mo<on. Resolu1on: we will let the electrons move in a sta<c (periodic) poten<al due to a fixed array of ions rather than in free space. 2. Independent electron approxima1on electron- electron interac<ons are ignored. Resolu1on: ignore. 3. Sta1c ions The ions are also dynamics en<<es which can contribute to physical phenomena. One prominent example is heat transfer. Resolu1on: we will let the ions vibrate around their equilibrium posi<ons due to thermal fluctua<ons

CRYSTALLOGRAPHY

Defini1on of a Bravais lasce (i) Infinite array of discrete points with an arrangement and orienta<on that appears exactly the same from whichever of the points the array is viewed. (ii) All points with posi<on vectors R on the form R = n 1 a 1 + n 2 a 2 + n 3 a 3 (3D) n 1,n 2,n 3 integers not unique!

Five unique Bravais lakces in 2D Oblique Hexagonal (triangular) Rectangular Square Centred rectangular

14 unique Bravais lakces in 3D

Example: BCC (e.g. Cesium, Sodium) Primi<ve (Bravais) lakce vectors: a 1 = aˆx a 2 = aŷ a 3 = a (ˆx +ŷ +ẑ) 2 ˆx a Cs = 6.05 Å a Na = 4.23 Å ŷ ẑ

Example: FCC (e.g. Gold, Argon) Primi<ve (Bravais) lakce vectors: a 1 = a 2 (ŷ +ẑ) a 2 = a (ˆx +ẑ) 2 a 3 = a (ŷ +ˆx) 2 aau ˆx ŷ ẑ = 4.08 Å a Ar = 5.26 Å

Wigner- Seitz primi<ve cell AM: One can always choose a primi6ve cell with the full symmetry of the Bravais la;ce. By far the most common such choice is the Wigner- Seitz cell. FCC The Wigner- Seitz cell is the region of space around a la;ce point that is closer to that la;ce point than to any other la;ce point

Lakce with a basis 2D BCC Bravais primi1ve lasce vectors a 1 = aˆx, Two- point basis 0, a (ˆx +ŷ) 2 a 2 = aŷ

WAVES IN SOLIDS Experimental setup for X- ray diffrac1on Outgoing wave e ik r k = 2 ˆn0 Incoming wave e ik 0 r k 0 = 2 ˆn θ Bragg angle sample (fcc) Bragg s law gives the angles for coherent and incoherent scaqering from a crystal lakce

Reciprocal lakce AM: Consider a set of points R cons6tu6ng a Brvais la;ce and a plane wave exp(i k.r). For general k such a plane wave will, of course, not have the periodicity of the la;ce, but for special choices it will. The set of all wave vectors K that yield plane waves with the periodicity of the given Bravais la;ce is known as the reciprocal la;ce. e ik R =1 R = n 1 a 1 + n 2 a 2 + n 3 a 3

Laue condi1on (AM): Construc6ve interference will occur if the change in wave vector equals a reciprocal la;ce vector. K = k 0 k 0 = k k k K = 1 2 K Bragg plane! A geometrical interpreta<on of the Laue condi<on

Theorem (AM): For any family of la;ce planes there are reciprocal la;ce vectors that are (i) perpendicular to the planes (ii) the shortest of which have length 2π/d. Miller indices (AM): The Miller indices of a plane are the coordinates (h, k, l) of the shortest reciprocal la;ce vector to that plane.
