Question 294
Appeared in Year: 2016
Describe in Detail
Essay▾Compute the allowed spectral terms for two non-equivalent P-electrons on the basis of Pauli՚s exclusion principle. (Marks: 10)
Explanation
Let us imagine the atom to be placed in a very strong magnetic field where all the internal couplings are broken down. The individual & vectors then process independently around the magnetic field with quantised components and respectively. The value of for a electron is and hence the values of are and ; while those of are .
Now, all possi…

Short Answer▾What are high superconductors? Give two examples indicating their transition temperatures. Differentiate between the conventional and high superconductors.
(Marks: 12)
Question 296
Appeared in Year: 2003
Describe in Detail
Essay▾Define Fermi energy. For an ideal Fermi gas of Particles at absolute zero temperature, show that the total energy of the system is where is the Fermi energy. (Marks: 20)
Explanation
The Fermi energy is defined as the energy of the top most filled level in the ground state of the electron system. At absolute zero the chemical potential is equal to the Fermi energy, defined as the energy of the top most filled orbital at absolute zero. It is also the maximum kinetic energy an electron can attain at k. It is a constant for eac…

Question 297
Appeared in Year: 2000
Describe in Detail
Essay▾Determine all the term symbols of equivalent electrons and arrange these states in increasing order of energy. Justify your answer. (Marks: 20)
Explanation
Let us imagine the atom to be placed in a very strong magnetic field where all the internal couplings are broken down. The individual and vectors then process independent around the magnetic field with quantised components and respectively. The value of for a p-electron is 1 and hence the values of are , while those of are and . Now, all po…

Question 298
Appeared in Year: 2003
Describe in Detail
Essay▾Number of non-interacting electrons are confined in a cube of volume . Obtain an expression for the Fermi energy. (Marks: 30)
Explanation
Let us consider the behaviour of the free gas in a three-dimensional metallic crystal. The potential of the electrons inside the crystal is constant and may be taken as zero, whereas it has a large value outside the crystal. For simplicity, the three-dimensional crystal may be regarded as a cubical box having length of edge equal to . The free par…
