The density of copper is 8.92x10^3 kg/m3 . The resistivity is 1.73x10 ^-8 Ω m and the weight of a copper atom is 63.5 amu (atomic mass unit). (i) Assuming each Cu atom contributes one conduction electron, calculate the electron mobility and the average time between collisions (relaxation time). (ii) Calculate the Fermi energy, Fermi wavevector, Fermi velocity and Fermi temperature.
help its urgent please
The mobility and relaxation time of electrons in Cu can be determined using Drude's Free electron theory model. The Fermi energy, Fermi wavevector, Fermi velocity and Fermi temperature can be determined using Fermi-Dirac analysis.
