Let's look at a copper crystal, where each copper atom donates one conduction electron to the crystal. a) Use the free electron model to determine the prediction for copper fermi energy 5, fermi temperature TF and degeneration pressure Pdeg (at temperature T = 0 K). b) Further calculate the contribution of the degeneration pressure to the Ma! compression coefficient of copper . c) Finally, determine the model prediction for the electronic molar specific heat capacity CV . The empirical form for this is CV = y1 and the experimentally determined value for copper is y = 0.695 [114 m4 K'Z. Compare this numerical value with your result
