Question
TRQ8. Solve completely the following Quantum
problem. Need full detailed answer, equations and if
possible, theory/literature.

Transcribed Image Text:Consider the elements Rubidium (Rb) and Tin (Sn). Their atomic
mass, density and electronic shell structure are provided in the table
below. Using the free electron gas model, evaluate the Fermi energy of
Rubidium and Tin and their corresponding degenerate pressure
(pressure of the electron gas). Express your pressure values in kbars.
The experimental Fermi energy values for Rb and Sn are 1.85 eV and
10.2 eV respectively. How many free electrons per atom did you
employ in your calculations? Explain.
