Impurities in solids can be sometimes described by a particle-in-a-box model. Suppose He is substituted for Xe, and assume a particle-in-a-cubic-box model, the length of whose sides is equal to the atomic diameter of Xe (≈ 2.62 Å). Compute the lowest excitation energy for the He atom’s motion. (This is the energy difference between the ground state and the first excited state.)
The Einstein's model makes the assumption that a solid can be treated a set of N identical, independent
harmonic oscillators. Compute the heat capacity for such a system. Make the simplifying assumption that a single
harmonic oscillator is described by the quantized energy levels: E, = kħw, where k = 0,1, 2, ....
