The table gives the occupation probabilities f1E2 as a

Chapter 42, Problem 42.51

(choose chapter or problem)

The table gives the occupation probabilities f1E2 as a function of the energy E for a solid conductor at a fixed temperature T. f(E) 0.064 0.173 0.390 0.661 0.856 0.950 E (eV) 3.0 2.5 2.0 1.5 1.0 0.5 To determine the Fermi energy of the solid material, you are asked to analyze this information in terms of the Fermi Dirac distribution. (a) Graph the values in the table as E versus ln531/f1E24 - 16. Find the slope and yintercept of the bestfit straight line for the data points when they are plotted this way. (b) Use your results of part (a) to calculate the temperature T and the Fermi energy of the material.
