Chapter 37, Problem 61P
The Madelung constant (Section 37.3) is notoriously difficult to calculate because it’s the sum of an alternating series of nearly equal terms. But it can be calculated for a hypothetical one-dimensional crystal consisting of an evenly spaced line of alternating positive and negative ions (Fig. 37.25). Show that the potential energy of an ion in this “crystal” can be written as
where the Madelung constant α has the value 2 ln2.

A high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) controls large currents by applying a small voltage to a thin sheet of
electrons. The density and mobility of the electrons in the sheet are critical for the operation of the HEMT.
HEMTS consisting of AlGaN/GaN/Si are being studied because they promise better performance at higher
powers, temperatures, and frequencies than conventional silicon HEMTS can achieve. In one study, the Hall
effect was used to measure the density of electrons in one of these new HEMTs. When a current of 12.1 ?A flows
through the length of the electron sheet, which is 1.12 mm long, 0.223 mm wide, and 15.1 nm thick, a magnetic
field of 1.05 T perpendicular to the sheet produces a voltage of 0.511 mV across the width of the sheet. What is
the density of electrons per m3 in the sheet?
One description of the potential energy of a diatomic molecule is given by the Lennard–Jones potential, U = (A)/(r12) - (B)/(r6)where A and B are constants and r is the separation distance between the atoms. For the H2 molecule, take A = 0.124 x 10-120 eV ⋅ m12 and B = 1.488 x 10-60 eV ⋅ m6. Find (a) the separation distance r0 at which the energy of the molecule is a minimum and (b) the energy E required to break up theH2 molecule.
The atomic radii of X+n and Y-m ions are 0.072and 0.133 nm, respectively. Calculate the attractive energy between these two ions at their equilibrium interionic separation.
