Your Question
1. For ionic salts (A+ B ) the inter ionic potential can be approximated by Φ(r) = K/rn -/+ (e^2/ 4π ε0 r) with n~ 10 where K is a constant. Calculate the equilibrium nearest neighbor distance r0 and the total static energy of the crystal if it has an FCC lattice (i.e. NaCl structure). Repeat the calculation for a SC lattice (i.e. CsCl structure). Which should have the lowest energy and thus be the stable crystal structure? Assume that K does not change for the different crystal structure. To a very good approximation you can ignore the repulsive part except for the nearest neighbor ions. Hint: You will need to find the Madelung constant for SC and FCC crystal structures. Also, you need to only calculate the sum over the repulsive part of the potential for the nearest neighbors.

2. Suppose the vibrations in graphene can be described using Debye approximation for the dispersion curve. (Graphene is a single layer of atoms cleaved from graphite). Derive the 2D density of states &#961; (&#969;) for the phonons in this approximation. (Assume that the velocity of sound is the same for the 3 polarizations of vibration, one longitudinal and two transverse). Calculate the heat capacity per carbon atom in a sheet of graphene in the Debye approximation. What is the high temperature and low temperature limit of the heat capacity? In this model what would you expect the temperature dependence of the phonon contribution to the thermal conductivity &#1082; (T) vs. T. Indicate &#952;D in your sketch and explain the temperature dependence in the 3 different temperature regions, low (T<< &#952;D), intermediate (T< &#952;D) and high (T>> &#952;D). Assume that the boundary scattering is dominant at low temperatures and that phonon- phonon scattering dominates at the higher T ranges.
