- 3. Atomic vibrations in a metal. Consider point ions of mass M and charge e immersed in a uniform sea of conduction electrons. 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. Take the number density of ions (or of conduction electrons ) as 3/(47R³), which defines R. (a) Show that the frequency of a single ion set into oscillation is @= (e²/MR³) ¹/2.
