11.5 Fermi Energy in Metals The Fermi-Dirac distribution implies that at absolute zero (in the ground state of a system) the largest Fermions (electrons, holes, etc.) are filled up in the density of states, of which the energy is often called the Fermi energy (Figure 11.5), but here we specifically redefine it as the Fermi energy at absolute zero.

first begin by finding the Fermi energy. The Fermi energy assumes a cold, and in our case, three dimensional space filled with N fermions (neutrons) where all of the lowest energy states are occupied. Then, we fill energy states up to, but not exceeding, a particular energy called the …

Fermi circle • All quantum states inside the Fermi circle are filled (i.e. occupied by electrons) • All quantum states outside the Fermi circle are empty Fermi Momentum: The largest momentum of the electrons is: This is called the Fermi momentum Fermi momentum can be found if one knows the electron density: kF 2 1 kF 2 n Fermi Energy:

If we have N electrons, at T = 0, the electron occupies the lowest N’2 states. The energy of the highest filled state is known as the Fermi energy eF. The momentum of this state is known as the Fermi momentum PF. The wavevector of this state is known as the Fermi wavevector kF. Obviously, PF = ÑkF and eF = (6.13) PF 2 2 m = Ñ2 k F 2 2 m

Where Does the Density of States Concept come from? Approach: 1. Find the smallest volume of k-space that can hold an electron. This will turn out to be related to the largest volume of real space that can confine the electron. 2. Next assume that the average energy of the free electrons (free to move), the fermi energy E f
