The conduction band minimum (CBM) is the lowest energy level in the conduction band. It represents the energy level at which electrons can move freely and contribute to electrical conductivity. In the FCC lattice, the CBM is located at the center of the Brillouin Show more…

What is the smallest energy gap at the boundary of the first Brillouin zone in a divalent fcc metal that will ensure that the first Brillouin zone is completely filled? Do this calculation for Sr with a = 6.08 Å.

The energy-band diagram for silicon is shown in Figure $3.25 \mathrm{~b}$. The minimum energy in the conduction band is in the [100] direction. The energy in this one-dimensional direction near the minimum value can be approximated by $$ E=E_{0}-E_{1} \cos \alpha\left(k-k_{0}\right) $$ where $k_{0}$ is the value of $k$ at the minimum energy. Determine the effective mass of the particle at $k=k_{0}$ in terms of the equation parameters.
Using the property indicated in Prob. 7.124 , determine the curve assumed by a cable of span $L$ and sag $h$ carrying a distributed load $w=w_{0} \cos (\pi x / L),$ where $x$ is measured from midspan. Also determine the maximum and minimum values of the tension in the cable.
