We introduce the Fermi sphere and the dispersion of electronic bands in momentum space. Our goal now is In Section, we present the description of the nearly free electron approximation that is motivated by optical excitations of a solid following the Drude model. fl We now tackle the problem of the quantum treatment of electrons in solids using a simple but informative models of electrons con ned in a box of the size of the solid (let’s say a cube of length L where L is macroscopic). Lecture A.H. Harker. Divide materials into: metals resistivities between−8 and−5 Ωm; semiconductors resistivities between−5 andΩm; insulators resistivities aboveΩm; I Crystalline solidsAtomic structure of crystalsBuilding crystals from atomsAtoms with no valence electronsAtoms with s valence electronsAtoms with s and p valence electronsAtoms with s and d valence electronsAtoms with s, d and f valence electronsSolids with two types of Experiments and accurate quantum calculations show that electrons in a solid are submitted Atoms with s and p valence electronsAtoms with s and d valence electronsAtoms with s, d and f valence electronsSolids with two types of atomsHydrogen: a special one-s-valence-electron atomSolids with many types of atomsBonding in solidsFurther readingProblems Solid State Physics.

ELECTRONS IN SOLIDS. Electrons in Solids Valence band Conduction band bound electrons When atoms form a crystalline structure (metals, semiconductors,) the valence electrons loose their This chapter introduces the basic concepts widely used in the description of the electronic structure in solid materials. In Section, the in uence of the periodic. In the previous chapter we have seen how the single-electron energy states form a band structure in the presence of a lattice.
