According to Drude
the valence electrons of atoms move freely like gas molecules in a solid
the valence electrons of atoms move under coulomb field of atoms but they themselves do not apply any force on each other and like gas molecules in a solid
the valence electrons of atoms move under coulomb field of atoms
all electrons move freely in side solid
Drift velocity expression is vd= meτ , current density is J=nevd then using Ohms law J=σE ; σ expression is
mneτ
mne2τ
mηe
ne2τm

Differences of Drude's model and Somerfeld free electron theory is
Drude used particle picture and Somerfeld used wave picture
Drude used wave picture and Somerfeld used particle picture
Drude used only electronic case and Somerfeld considered both electron and hole
Drude used both for electron and hole and Somerfeld used only for electron
Somerfeld's free electron theory is equivalent to
3D box problem of Q.Mechanics
1D infinite potential well problem
1D finite potential well problem
1D finite barrier well problem
Energy of an electron accordingly to Somerfeld's free electron theory is
23KT
2πm2n2π2h2
2ma2nπh
2πm2n2π2h
this picture represents electrons in infinite periodic potential
this picture represents electrons in a finite potential well
this picture represents electrons in a finite periodic potential well
this picture represents electrons in a infinite potential well
According to band theory
electrons are moving freely without any interaction btn. themselves or atomic nuclei
electrons are moving freely without any interaction btn. themselves but under Coulomb field of atomic nuclei
electrons are moving freely between Coulomb interaction btn. themselves but under Coulomb field of atomic nuclei
electrons are moving freely between mechanical interaction btn. themselves but under Coulomb field of atomic nuclei
Band theory is explained using
Newtonian eqn
Schrodinger equation for 1D infinite pot. well prob
Schrodinger equation with Kronig Penny model with Bloch funciton
Schrodinger equation with Somerfeld model
K values between −a π to +aπ
k values between −π to π
k values between −πa to + πa
k values between −2aπ to +2aπ
The relation K2=(2πh)22mE and K=−aπ to +aπ indicates
E values allowed for K multiple of −aπ to +aπ
E values allowed for K multiple of −2π to +2π
E values allowed for K multiple of −a to +a
E values allowed for K multiple of −nπ to +nπ
Choose the Brillounin Zone
Density of states is defined as number of energy states per unit energy range i.e. dN/dE, so which one is the correct picture for this
correct figure to represent Dos is
