(choose chapter or problem)

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