Q1) Attempt any four of the following : [16] a) Show that for Kronig-Penny model with P<<1, the energy of the lowest !2 p . ma2 Electrical resistivity of Cu at R.T. is 1.6 10 8 m. If WiedemannFranz law applies to this material, find the electronic contribution of thermal conductivity of Cu at 27 C. For a simple square lattice, calculate K.E. of free electron at the corner and at the mid point of the side face of the 1st Brillouin zone. How are these two values related? A superconducting material has a critical temperature of 3.7 K in zero magnetic field and a critical field of 0.0306 Tesla at zero K. Find the critical field.
