Problem 01:
Consider a two-dimensional electron gas in which the electrons are restricted to move freely within a square area a 2 in the xy
plane. Applying the theories from Section 4.5 (in the textbook), show that the density of states g(E) is constant (independent of
energy).

Problem 02:
a. Given that the Fermi energy for Cu is 7.0 eV at absolute zero, calculate the E F at 300 K. What is the percentage change in E F
and what is your conclusion?
b. Applying the Fermi energy for Cu at absolute zero, calculate the average energy and mean speed per conduction electron at
absolute zero and 300 K, and comment.

Problem 03:

From figure-1 shows the temperature dependence of ε 'r and

tanδ for a polyester film. Consider a 1 nF polyester
capacitor that has a polymer (PET) film thickness of 1 µ m.
Calculate the equivalent circuit of this capacitor at 50 °C
and at 120 °C for operation at 1 kHz. What is your
conclusion?

tanδ at 1 kHz vs. temperature from dielectric for PET.
Problem 04:
Applying the concepts of de-bye equation, derive the equation of real and imaginary part of the dielectric constant and draw cole-
cole plots and their equivalent series circuit.

Problem 05:
Consider the one-dimensional potential function an electron with energy E is incident on a rectangular potential barrier as shown
in Figure 1.1. The potential barrier is of height Vo and height Vo >> E. (a) Write the form of the wave function and their solution
in each of the two regions. (b) For this geometry, determine what coefficient in the wave function solutions is zero according to
your understanding. (c) Derive the expression for the transmission and reflection coefficient for the electron (tunneling and
reflection probability) and explain what is happening for E>V 0 , E<V 0 , E=V 0condition (d) Sketch the wave function for the
electron in each region for E>V 0 , E<V 0 , E=V 0 condition.
