The density for spin-1/2 fermions in a box is

?(?) = ?/ 2?^2( 2?/ℏ^2)^3/2 √?

will the Fermi energy increase, decrease, or stay the same if

1) we increase the number of fermions?

2) we increase the mass of the fermions?

3) we increase the spin of the fermions (say from 1/2 to 3/2)?

4) Make a rough sketch of the original density-of-states and compare to 1-3

1. In a H2 molecule there are two protons, and these have spin 1/2 ħ, that is, they are fermions. If we just look at the two protons, would you expect their spins to be parallel or anti parallel in the ground state of the H2 molecule? 2. Is there a type of viscosity that acts on holes in a semiconductor and gives them a terminal velocity in an electric field, or do holes just accelerate under the influence of...

Suppose electrons had a spin of 3/2 instead of 1/2. What would be Z for the first noble gas? What if electrons instead had spin 1? Explain your reasoning. --------- I think the answer for 3/2 is Z=4 since there will be 4 spacial states, but there are conflicting answers from previous cheggs. A clear explanation would be very apprecaited!

An atomic nucleus can be crudely modeled as a gas of nucleons with a number density of 0.18 fm-3 (where 1 fm = 10-15 m). Because nucleons come in two different types (protons and neutrons), each with spin 1/2, each spatial wavefunction can hold four nucleons. (a) [10 pts] Calculate the Fermi energy εF of this system, in MeV. Also calculate the Fermi temperature TF. Is it reasonable to treat the nucleus as a degenerate Fermi gas at room temperature?...

1. For a clean sand, if the relative density of the sand is increased, the friction angle, φ, will a. decrease b. increase c. stay the same 2. In general, a well graded gravel will have a friction angle, φ, that is __________ the friction angle of a poorly graded gravel of the same relative density a. less than b. greater than c.equal to 3. Loose sands sometime liquefy during earthquakes, but dense sands never do. Why?
