Question:

Metallic lithium has a bee crystal structure. Each unit cell is a cube of side length a = 0.35nm.
(a) For a bee lattice, what is the number of atoms per unit volume? Give your answer in terms of a.
(b) Use the result of part (a) to calculate the zero-temperature Fermi energy EF0 for metallic lithium. Assume there is one free electron per atom.
