CHAPTER 1

  1. The vectors x ˆ + y ˆ + z ˆ and − x ˆ − y ˆ + z ˆ are in the directions of two body diagonals of a

cube. If θ is the angle between them, their scalar product gives cos θ = –1/3, whence

θ = cos −^1 1/ 3 = 90 ° + 19 28'° = 109 28'°.

  1. The plane (100) is normal to the x axis. It intercepts the a' axis at and the c' axis at ; therefore the indices referred to the primitive axes are (101). Similarly, the plane (001) will have indices (011) when referred to primitive axes.

Referred to an fcc lattice, the basis of diamond is

Thus in the product

S(v v v ) 1 2 3 = S(fcc lattice) × S (basis),

we take the lattice structure factor from (48), and for the basis

1 2 3 i 1 (v v v ). S (basis) = 1 +e−^2 π^ +^ +

Now S(fcc) = 0 only if all indices are even or all indices are odd. If all indices are even the structure factor of the basis vanishes unless v 1 + v 2 + v 3 = 4n, where n is an integer. For example, for the reflection (222) we have S(basis) = 1 + e–i3π^ = 0, and this reflection is forbidden.

The integral is not difficult; it is given as Dwight 860.81. Observe that f = 1 for G = 0 and f ∝ 1/G^4 for Ga 0 >>1.

  1. For KCl, λ = 0.34 × 10 –8^ ergs and ρ = 0.326 × 10 –8Å. For the imagined modification of KCl with the ZnS structure, z = 4 and α = 1.638. Then from Eq. (23) with x ≡ R 0 /ρ we have

x e^2 −^ x^ = 8.53 ×10 .−^3

By trial and error we find x  9.2, or R 0 = 3.00 Å. The actual KCl structure has R 0 (exp) = 3.15 Å. For the imagined structure the cohesive energy is

units as above. This is about 0.1% lower than calculated for the cubic ZnS structure. It is noteworthy that the difference is so slight.

  1. The Madelung energy of Ba+^ O–^ is –αe^2 /R 0 per ion pair, or –14.61 × 10 –12^ erg = –9.12 eV, as compared with –4(9.12) = –36.48 eV for Ba++^ O--. To form Ba+^ and O–^ from Ba and O requires 5.19 – 1.5 = 3.7 eV; to form Ba++^ and O--^ requires 5.19 + 9.96 – 1.5 + 9.0 = 22.65 eV. Thus at the specified value of R 0 the binding of Ba+^ O–^ is 5.42 eV and the binding of Ba++^ O--^ is 13.83 eV; the latter is indeed the stable form.
  2. From (37) we have eXX = S 11 XX, because all other stress components are zero. By (51), 3S 11 = 2 (C 11 − C 12 ) + 1 (C 11 +C 12 ).

Thus Y = (C 11 2 + C C 12 11 − 2C 12 2 ) (C 11 +C 12 );

further, also from (37), eyy = S 21 Xx,

whence σ = e (^) yy e (^) xx= S 21 S 11 = − C 12 (C 11 + C 12 ).

ω ρ = + + + = ω = + +

This dispersion relation follows from (57a).

  1. We take u = – w; v = 0. This displacement is ⊥ to the [111] direction. Shear waves are degenerate in this direction. Use (57a).
  2. Let exx = − eyy= 12 e in (43). Then

12a. We rewrite the element aij = p – δij(λ + p – q) as aij = p – λ′ δij, where λ′ = λ + p – q, and δij is the Kronecker delta function. With λ′ the matrix is in the “standard” form. The root λ′ = Rp gives λ = (R – 1)p

  • q, and the R – 1 roots λ′ = 0 give λ = q – p.

as the displacements for waves in the [111] direction. On substitution in (57) we obtain the desired equation. Then, by (a), one root is

2 2 ω ρ = 2p + q = K (C 11 + 2C 12 +4C 44 ) / 3,

and the other two roots (shear waves) are

2 2 ω ρ = K (C 11 − C 12 +C 44 ) / 3.

  1. Set u(r,t) = u 0 ei(K·r – t)^ and similarly for v and w. Then (57a) becomes

1a. The kinetic energy is the sum of the individual kinetic energies each of the form (^) S^2

Mu. 2

The force

between atoms s and s+1 is –C(us – us+1); the potential energy associated with the stretching of this bond is

b. The time average of (^) S^2 2

Then u s u (^) s 1 u {cos( t sKa) (1 cos Ka) sin ( t sKa) sin Ka}.

− (^) + = ω − ⋅ − − ω − ⋅

We square and use the mean values over time:

cos^2 sin^2 1 ; cos sin 0. 2

Thus the square of u{} above is

(^1) u [1 (^2) 2cos Ka cos Ka (^2) sin Ka] (^2) u (1 (^2) cos Ka). 2

The potential energy per bond is 2

Cu (1 cos Ka), 2

− and by the dispersion relation ω^2 = (2C/M) (1 –

cos Ka) 2 2

this is equal to M u. 4

ω Just as for a simple harmonic oscillator, the time average potential

energy is equal to the time-average kinetic energy.

On substitution in the equation of motion (16a) we have

u u M ( p a C ) t > x

which is of the form of the continuum elastic wave equation with

  1. From Eq. (20) evaluated at K = π/a, the zone boundary, we have

−ω = − −ω = −

Thus the two lattices are decoupled from one another; each moves independently. At ω^2 = 2C/M 2 the motion is in the lattice described by the displacement v; at ω^2 = 2C/M 1 the u lattice moves.

  1. (a) The Coulomb force on an ion displaced a distance r from the center of a sphere of static or rigid conduction electron sea is – e^2 n(r)/r^2 , where the number of electrons within a sphere of radius r is (3/4 πR^3 ) (4πr^3 /3). Thus the force is –e^2 r/R^2 , and the

  1. (a) The dispersion relation is (^) m

| sin Ka|. 2

ω = ω We solve this for K to obtain

K = (2/a) sin −^1 ( ω / ωm ), whence and, from (15), (^2 2) 1/ 2 dK/d (2 / a)( (^) m ) ω = ω − ω − D( ω)

. This is singular at ω = ω (^2 2) 1/ 2 (2L/ a)( (^) m ) = π ω − ω − m. (b) The volume of a sphere of radius K in Fourier space is Ω = 4 K / 3π 3 = (4 π / 3)[( ω − ω 0 ) / A] 3/2, and the density of orbitals near ω 1/ 2

0 is D( ω)= (L/2 ) | d π 3 Ω/d ω =| (L/2 ) (2π 3 π / A3/2 )( ω − ω 0 ) , provided ω < ω 0. It is apparent that D(ω) vanishes for ω above the minimum ω 0.

, because the other degrees of freedom are to be associated with shear distortions of the lattice cell.

Thus < ∆( V) 2 > = 1.5 × 10 −^47 ;( ∆V) (^) rms= 4.7 × 10 −^24 cm ;^3 and ( ∆V) (^) rms / V = 0.125. Now

3 a/a∆ ≈ ∆V/V , whence ( ∆a) (^) rms / a =0.04.

  1. (a) < R 2 > = (h/2 V)/ ρ Σω− 1 , where from (20) for a Debye spectrum Σω−^1

= ∫ d ω D( ω ω) − 1 = 3V ωD 2 / 4 π^3 v^3 , whence< R 2 > = 3h/ ωD 2 / 8π ρ^2 v 3. (b) In one dimension from

(15) we have D( ω =) L/ vπ , whence ∫ d ω D( ω) ω− 1 diverges at the lower limit. The mean square

strain in one dimension is 2 2 02

( R/ x) K u (h/2MNv) K 2

(^2 2 ) = (h/2MNv) (K/ (^) D / 2) = h/ ωD / 4MNv.

  1. (a) The motion is constrained to each layer and is therefore essentially two-dimensional. Consider one plane of area A. There is one allowed value of K per area (2π/L)^2 in K space, or (L/2π)^2 = A/4π^2 allowed values of K per unit area of K space. The total number of modes with wavevector less than K is, with ω = vK,

N = (A/4 π^2 ) ( K )π 2 = A ω^2 / 4 v .π 2

The density of modes of each polarization type is D(ω) = dN/dω = Aω/2πv^2. The thermal average phonon energy for the two polarization types is, for each layer,

Thus the heat capacity C = k (^) B∂U/ ∂τ ∝T^2.

(b) If the layers are weakly bound together, the system behaves as a linear structure with each plane as a vibrating unit. By induction from the results for 2 and 3 dimensions, we expect C. But this only holds at extremely low temperatures such that

∂F/ ∂∆ = 0 becomes B

B h coth (h /2k T) 2

∆ = γΣ / ω /ω on direct differentiation. The energy

< n > h/ω is just the term to the right of the summation symbol, so that B∆ = γU (T ). (c) By definition

of γ, we have δω ω = −γδ/ V /V , or d log ω = −δ d log V. But , whence

The average Fermi energy per electron is 3εF/5, from Problem 6.1; because N V = 3 4 rπ 03 , the average

The binding energy at this value of rs is less than 1 Ry; therefore separated H atoms are more stable.

  1. From the magnetoconductivity matrix we have

ω τ = σ = σ

For ωcτ >> 1, we have σyx ≅ σ 0 ω τ =c ( ne^2 τ m )( mc eB τ =) neB c.

  1. For a monatomic metal sheet one atom in thickness, n ≈ 1/d^3 , so that

If the electron wavelength is d, then mv dF ≈ h/ by the de Broglie relation and

2 R (^) sq≈ h e/ =137 c
