The density of states related to volume V and N countable energy levels is defined as: = = (()). Because the smallest allowed change of momentum for a particle in a box of dimension and length is () = (/), the volume-related density of states for continuous energy levels is obtained in the limit as ():= (()), Here, is the spatial dimension of the considered system and the wave vector.
The density of states function g(E) is defined as the number of electronic states per unit volume, per unit energy, for electron energies near E. The density of states function is important for calculations of effects based on band theory.
α = d for hyper-relativistic particles in a d-dimensional box. For such a power-law density of states, the grand potential integral evaluates exactly to: [12] (,,) = + (), where () is the complete Fermi–Dirac integral (related to the polylogarithm). From this grand potential and its derivatives, all thermodynamic quantities of interest can ...
The theory found that a one-dimensional finite crystal with two ends at and + always has one and only one state whose energy and properties depend on but not for each band gap. This state is either a band-edge state or a surface state in the band gap(see, Particle in a one-dimensional lattice , Particle in a box ).
Effective mass (solid-state physics) In solid state physics, a particle's effective mass (often denoted ) is the mass that it seems to have when responding to forces, or the mass that it seems to have when interacting with other identical particles in a thermal distribution. One of the results from the band theory of solids is that the movement ...
A Green's function, G(x,s), of a linear differential operator L = L(x) acting on distributions over a subset of the Euclidean space , at a point s, is any solution of. (1) where δ is the Dirac delta function. This property of a Green's function can be exploited to solve differential equations of the form.
In quantum mechanics, a density matrix (or density operator) is a matrix that describes an ensemble [1] of physical systems as quantum states (even if the ensemble contains only one system). It allows for the calculation of the probabilities of the outcomes of any measurements performed upon the systems of the ensemble using the Born rule.
In physics, specifically in quantum mechanics, a coherent state is the specific quantum state of the quantum harmonic oscillator, often described as a state that has dynamics most closely resembling the oscillatory behavior of a classical harmonic oscillator. It was the first example of quantum dynamics when Erwin Schrödinger derived it in ...
