Consider a free electron gas model for a system of Nq fermions
that are confined to move in two dimensions instead of three (for
example, Nq non-interacting electrons that are confined to move on
a surface). The dimensions of this system are lx by ly so that the
particles move in the region 0 < x < lx, 0 < y < ly;
the potential is zero inside that region and infinite
outside.
a) Find the Fermi energy for this system in terms of the number of
particles and the dimensions of the system.
b) Find the total energy of the system and express it in terms of
the Fermi energy.

Problem 4. Low-dimensional materials play an important role in nanotechnology. Consider a two-dimensional Fermi gas of N non-interacting electrons confined to a plane of area A. Find the Fermi energy &r (in terms of A and N) and the average electron energy. Find (analytically) the chemical potential p as a function of er and T.

Assume that we can neglect different spin orientations of the fermions. Each particle can be in one of three single-partiele states with energies 0, A and 2A.

3. Consider a hypothetical non-ideal gas of particles confined to exist along a line in one dimension. The particles are in thermal equilibrium but due to their complex interactions the velocity distribution function is not Maxwellian, but rather has the form: where C and vo are constants. Note that v is the velocity (not the speed) and can take on negative values. Express your answers below in terms of vo- a. Solve for the constant C b. Draw a sketch...
1-r' Problem 16.12 (30 pts) This chapter examines the two-state system but consider instead the infinite-state system consisting of N non-interacting particles. Each particle i can be in one of an infinite number of states designated by an integer, n; = 0,1,2, .... The energy of particle i is given by a = en; where e is a constant. Note: you may need the series sum Li-ori = a) If the particles are distinguishable, compute QIT,N) and A(T,N) for this...
Question 14. Consider the following 3-state model: a system of 21 non-interacting particles that can occupy one of three energy levels. This is analogous to electrons filling a number of orbitals. The energies associated with the states are E0, El and E2 respectively. Consider no external constraints on the system (i.e. thermal or pressure baths) and that the system is isolated a) What is the value of entropy change associated with the states of E0 = 21, El=E2=0. b) What...
Consider an infinite slab of thickness 2a and uniform volume charge density ρ. This is essentially an infinite plane with a non-negligible thickness. Since the planar symmetry involves:艹-2 reflection symmetry, as well as the translation symmetry along the and y direc- tions, we place the origin at a point on the midplane of the slab. In other words, the midplane corresponds to oo = 0 (i.e., the ry plane) and the surfaces of the slab are at a (a) Use...
A NON stationary state A particle of mass m is in an infinite square well potential of width L, as in McIntyre's section 5.4. Suppose we have an initial state vector lv(t -0) results from Mclntrye without re-deriving them, and you may use a computer for your math as long as you include your code in your solution A(3E1) 4iE2)). You may use E. (4 pts) Use a computer to plot this probability density at 4 times: t 0, t2...

Thomson's experiment to fine the charge-to-mass ratio of the tt) (25 points) electron (i.e. e/m; The first is the experiment of Joseph John Thomson, who first demonstrated that atoms are actually composed of aggregates of charged particles. Prior to his work, it was believed that atoms were the fundamental building blocks of matter. The first evidence contrary to this notion came when people began studying the properties of atoms in large...
