Answer All Questions

1. Based on free electron model and considering electrons obey Fermi-Dirac statistics,
derive the expression of Density of States and Fermi energy (at T= 0K) for 2D as well
as 1D Solid. [4+4]

2. Find the probability for an electronic state to be occupied at 20oC. If the energy of these
states lies 0.13 eV above and 0.13 eV below the Fermi Level. [3]

3. Helium stable isotope- Helium-3 (3He boiling point = 3.19K) is a fermionic system.
Determine the Fermi Energy (in eV) and Fermi temperature of liquid Helium-3. Given
the density of liquid Helium-3 is 100 kgm-3 at T=0K. [3]

4. Calculate the number of atoms per unit area in (100), (110), (111) plane of BCC crystal
with side length a. Show the calculation with sketch. [2+2+2]
