For aluminum (units of eV) at T = 0 K, calculate the Fermi Energy of electrons. Assume that each aluminum atom gives up all of its outer-shell electrons to form the electron gas. b) Find the Fermi velocity of electrons in aluminum. c) How many times larger is the Fermi velocity compared to the velocity of electrons with kinetic energy equal to thermal energy at room temperature?

The average energy per electron for the 3D electron gas at T=0 is 3*(E fermi) / 5, where E fermi is the Fermi energy. Now, calculate the average energy per unit volume for electron gas in 1, 2, and 3 dimensions at zero temperature. Your answer should be proportional to the Fermi energy, E fermi, and/or the electron concentration n = N / V (possibly to some power).

Aluminum wires exposed to air form a layer of insulating Al2O3, through which electrons have to tunnel to get through an interconnect. A simple model of electrons tunneling through an Al2O3 barrier of thickness L between two Al wires implies the following: for small fixed voltage V, the current I is Ce^(-2KL), where C and K are constants. In other words, the resistance R=V/I increases proportional to e^(2KL). Solving the Schrödinger equation gives K=sqrt(2mU/ 2 ) where m is the...
