OUTLINE • Review Ionic / Covalent Molecules • Types of Solids (ER 13.2) • Band Theory (ER 13.3-.4) • basic ideas • description based upon free electrons • descriptions based upon nearly-free electrons • ‘Free’ Electron Models (ER 13.5-.7) • Temperature Dependence of Resistivity (ER 14.1)

Covalent Bonding SYM ASYM spatial spin ASYM SYM spatial spin space-symmetric tend to be closer
Covalent Bonding not really parallel, but spin-symmetric Stot = 1 Stot = 0 not really anti, but spin-asym space-symmetric tend to be closer
TYPES OF SOLIDS (ER 13.2)CRYSTALINE BINDING • molecular • ionic • covalent • metallic
most organics inert gases O2 N2 H2 Molecular Solids • orderly collection of molecules held together by v. d. Waals • gases solidify only at low Temps • easy to deform & compress • poor conductors
NaCl NaI KCl Ionic Solids • individ atoms act like closed-shell, spherical, therefore binding not so directional • arrangement so that minimize nrg for size of atoms • tight packed arrangement poor thermal conductors • no free electrons poor electrical conductors • strong forces hard & high melting points • lattice vibrations absorb in far IR • to excite electrons requires UV, so ~transparent visible
Ge Si diamond Covalent Solids • 3D collection of atoms bound by shared valence electrons • difficult to deform because bonds are directional • high melting points (b/c diff to deform) • no free electrons poor electrical conductors • most solids adsorb photons in visible opaque
Fe Ni Co Metallic Solids config dhalf full • (weaker version of covalent bonding) • constructed of atoms which have very weakly bound outer electron • large number of vacancies in orbital (not enough nrg available to form covalent bonds) • electrons roam around (electron gas ) • excellent conductors of heat & electricity • absorb IR, Vis, UV opaque

How to choose eFandBehavior of the Fermi function at band gaps
How does one choose/know eF If in unfilled band, eF is energy of highest energy electrons at T=0. If in filled band with gap to next band, eF is at the middle of gap.

Quantum Mechanical Viewpoint In a 3D slab of metal, e’s are free to move but must remain on the inside Solutions are of the form: With nrg’s:
At T = 0, all states are filled up to the Fermi nrg A useful way to keep track of the states that are filled is:
