Q

What is pauli’s exclusion principle and what does it mean

A

two or more electrons may not occupy the same quantum state.

overlap of electron clouds from
two atoms is only possible by promoting some of the electrons to higher quantum states, which requires a large amount
of energy

Q

What is principle quantum number, n?

A

determines the energy of an electron in hydrogenic atoms and can take integer
values starting from 1. Atomic orbitals with the same value of n are said to be in the same shell and we label
the orbitals, starting with this principle quantum number.

Q

What is Braggs law, when does braggs law occur

A

2dsintheta = n lamda
Occurs at wavelengths smaller than 2d

25
What causes efficency of scattering to decrease rapidly
as 2theta increases
26
What is atomic form factor
Measure of how effciently an atom scatters Xrays under specific conditions
27
What are Laue conditions for diffraction?
A large scattering amplitude is obtained only when the contributions from all the lattice points are in phase, and this is achieved when, K.a = 2πh, K.b = 2πk, K.c = 2πl
28
What is the relationship between the reciprocal lattice vector Ghkl and the (hkl) Miller index plane in real space?
dhkl =2π/|Ghkl|
29
What is the Ewald sphere?
-Plot recipocal lattice of crystal -Draw wavevectors of incident beam k which terminated at reciprocal lattice point -Draw sohere of radius k=2pi/lamda Diffracted beam will be formed if Ewald sphere intercepts any point in the reciprocal lattice The Ewald sphere is a sphere of the radius defined as the reciprocal of the wavelength of the incident wave 1/λ,
30
What is reciprocal space
mathematical space which corresponds to FT of real space
31
What is the Brillouin zones?
region closest to center of recipocal space which contains all possible wavevectors which can be diffracted by crystal lattice
32
What are wavevectors in recipocal soace?
momentum of wave, e.g xrays or electrons if waves diffracted
33
Relationship between real and reciprocal vectors in SC lattice
a∗ =2π/a,i b∗ =2π/a,j c∗ =2π/a,k
34
Relationship between real and reciprocal vectors in BCC lattice
a∗ = (2π/a)(j + k), b∗ = (2π/a)(i + k), c∗ = (2π/a)(i + j)
35
Relationship between real and reciprocal vectors in FCC lattice
a = (1/2)a(j + k), b = (1/2)a(i + k), c = (1/2)a(i + j)
36
From miller indicies what diffraction conditon for BCC
h+k+l must be even
37
From miller indicies what diffraction conditon for FCC
h, k and l must be either all odd or all even
38
What can the free electron model be deduced to ?

40
What is Fermi Energy?
Highest energy state occupied by electron at absolute zero temperature
41
What is Fermi-Dirac distribution function?
f(ε,T)=1/ exp((ε-εf)/kbt))+1
42
Number of electrons per unit energy range?
n = density of states x occupation of states at temp g(ε) x f(ε,T)
43
What happens if Fermi Sphere completely fits inside Brillioun zone
No electrons satisfy diffraction conditions
44
Electron current density equation
j = nqv = [(n tau e^2)/m(e)] = sigma E
45
Ohms law where conductivity; j=sigma E
sigma = [(n tau e^2)/m(e)] =n e mew
46
What are phonons
Lattice Vibrations
47
What is Matthiessen Rule
Resistivity = temperature-independent resistivity (ideal resistivity) and its temperature-dependent resistivity (residual resistivity).
48
What is the implications of Mattiessen Rule
The implication of Matthiessen's rule is that two different samples of the same metal, one pure (with minimal defects) and the other impure or alloyed, should exhibit similar resistivity vs temperature curves. However, the impure sample will have a higher overall resistivity due to the presence of additional defects, leading to an offset in the curves corresponding to the residual resistivity.
48
Hall Energy equation
EH = RHB × j
49
What is Band Theory
Why causes materials behavoiur when conductinf electricity 1- Peroidocity and Bloch Equations 2- Free Electrons and not so free electrons 3- Brillouin Zones 4- Occupying energy bands -
50
What is the nearly free electron model
Periodic potential of ion cores as weak perturbation on band electrons Energy Gaps and the Bragg Condition Standing Waves and Energy Gaps Band Structure Calculation:
51
The tight binding approximation
The opposite approach to the nearly free electron model, the tight binding approximation considers the electrons to be tightly bound to the atoms that make up the crystal. When the atoms are widely separated the wavefunctions of the valence electrons will be those of the isolated atoms. As the distance between them decreases we might expect that the electrons will begin to move from one atom to the next. We can consider this motion as the transfer of an electron from one state on the atom to the same state on a neighbouring atom. 1- find suitable wavefunction 2- Calculate E(k) 3- Consider tight binding in sc lattice
