The ions are imagined to be in stable equilibrium when at regular lattice points. If one ion is displaced a small distance r from its equilibrium position, the restoring force is largely due to the electric charge within the sphere of radius r centered at the equilibrium position.

When a phosphorus atom is substituted for a silicon atom in a crystal, four of the phosphorus valence electrons form bonds with neighboring atoms and the remaining electron is much more loosely bound. You can model the electron as free to move through the crystal lattice. The phosphorus nucleus has one more positive charge than does the silicon nucleus, however, so the extra electron provided by the phosphorus atom is attracted to this single nuclear charge +e. The energy levels of the extra electron are similar to those of the electron in the Bohr hydrogen atom with two important exceptions. First, the Coulomb attraction between the electron and the positive charge on the phosphorus nucleus is reduced by a factor of 1/k from what it would be in free space, where k is the dielectric constant of the crystal. As a result, the orbit radii are greatly increased over those of the hydrogen atom. Second, the influence of the periodic electric potential of the lattice causes the…arrow_forwardWhat is the energy required to transit 1 mol of electrons from n= 2 to infinity?

Suppose the outer electrons (of mass m) in a given atom move with a displacement different from that of the corresponding ion core (of mass M). Let the displacement of the ion core s be: Us = uei(Ksa-wt) and the displacement of the center of mass of the outer electrons associated with ion s be: V = vei(Ksa-wt) Each ion core is assumed to interact only with its own outer electrons with a force proportional to the displacement of the electron distribution from the nucleus, and the force constant is C₂.
