Problem #2 The Fermi energy (in eV) of Na and Au are 3.15 eV and 5.54 eV, respectively at 300 K. Calculate the speed of electrons at EF for each metal. Calculate the density of states as states per eV cm at the Fermi energy. Problem #3 (a) Plot both statistics from E = -1.0EF to E=5.0Ep. (b) Determine for what energy above EF (in terms of kT) the Fermi-Dirac distribution is within 1% of the Boltzmann approximation. Based on your result comment on Fermi- Dirac distribution behaves almost like the Boltzmann distribution while (E EF) kT. - Problem #2 The Fermi energy (in eV) of Na and Au are 3.15 eV and 5.54 eV, respectively at 300 K.
