Question:

Problem 7.20. Electrons in a piece of copper metal can be assumed to behave like an ideal Fermi gas. Copper metal in the solid state has a mass density of 9gr/cm. Assume that each copper atom donates one electron to the Fermi gas. Assume the system is at T= 0 K.

(a) Compute the Fermi energy, EF, of the electron gas.

(b) Compute the Fermi "temperature," TF = EF/KB
