At low temperatures, copper has a free-electron concentration n = 8.45 *1028 m-3. Using the free-electron model, find the Fermi energy for solid copper, and find the speed of an electron with a kinetic energy equal to the Fermi energy.
Compute the Fermi speed for (a) Ca (EF = 4.69 eV) and (b) Be (EF = 14.3 eV).
Each atom of gold (Au) contributes one free electron to the metal. Compute the Fermi energy for gold.
