Introduction
In solids, there are about 1023 electrons and ions packed in
a volume of 1 cm3. The consequences of this highly
packing density :
– Interparticle distance is very small: ~2x10-8 cm.
the instantaneous position and velocity of the particle are no longer
deterministic. Thus, the electrons motion in solids must be
analyzed by a probability theory.
Quantum mechanics Newtonian mechanics
Schrodinger’s equation: to describe the position probability of a
particle.

Energy Quanta
Consider a light incident on a surface of a material as shown below:
Classical theory: as long as the intensity of light is strong enough
photoelectrons will be emitted from the material.
Photoelectric Effect: experimental results shows “NOT”.
Observation:
– as the frequency of incident light < o: no electron emitted.
– as > o:at const. frequency, intensity, emission rate, K.E. unchanged.
at const. intensity, the max. K. E. the frequency of incident light.

Quanta and Photon
Planck postulated that thermal radiation is emitted from a heated
surface in discrete energy called quanta. The energy of these quanta is
given by
E = h, h = 6.625 x 10-34 J-sec (Planck’s constant)
According to the photoelectric results, Einstein suggested that the
energy in a light wave is also contained in discrete packets called
photon whose energy is also given by E = h.
The maximum K.E. of the photoelectron is Tmax = ½mv2 = h - ho
The momentum of a photon, p = h/

Wave-Particle Duality
de Broglie postulated the existence of matter waves. He suggested that
since waves exhibit particle-like behavior, then particles should be
expected to show wave-like properties.
de Broglie suggested that the wavelength of a particle is expressed as
= h /p, where p is the momentum of a particle
Davisson-Germer experimentally proved de Broglie postulation of
“Wave Nature of Electrons”.

Davisson-Germer Experiment
Consider the experimental setup below:
Observation:
– the existence of a peak in the density of scattered electrons can be
explained as a constructive interference of waves scattered by the periodic
atoms.
– the angular distribution of the deflected electrons is very similar to an
interference pattern produced by light diffracted from a grating.

Conclusion
In some cases, EM wave behaves like particles (photons) and
sometimes particles behave as if they are waves.
Wave-particle duality principle applies primarily to SMALL particles,
e.g., electrons, protons, neutrons.
For large particles, classical mechanics still apply.

Uncertainty Principle
Heisenberg states that we cannot describe with absolute accuracy the
behavior of the subatomic particles.
1. It is impossible to simultaneously describe with the absolute accuracy
the position and momentum of a particle.
p x ħ. (ħ = h/2 = 1.054x10-34 J-sec)
2. It is impossible to simultaneously describe with the absolute accuracy
the energy of a particle and the instant of time the particle has this
energy.
E t ħ
The uncertainty principle implies that these simultaneous
measurements are in error to a certain extent. However, ħ is very small,
the uncertainty principle is only significant for small particles.

Schrodinger’s Wave Equation
Based on the principle of quanta and the wave-particle duality
principle, Schrodinger’s equation describes the motion of electrons in a
crystal.

The physical meaning of wave function:
– (x,t) is a complex function, so it can not by itself represent a real
physical quantity.
– |2(x,t)| is the probability of finding the particle between x and
x+dx at a given time, or is a probability density function.
– |2(x,t)|= (x,t) *(x,t) =(x)* (x) = |(x)|2 -- indep. of time

since |(x)|2 represents the probability density function, then for a
single particle, the probability of finding the particle somewhere is
certain.
If the total energy E and the potential V(x) are finite everywhere,
2. (x) must be finite, single-valued, and continuous.
3. (x)/x must be finite, single-valued, and continuous.

Applications of Schrodinger’s Eq.
The infinite Potential Well
In region I, III, (x) = 0, since E is finite and a particle cannot
penetrate the infinite potential barriers.
In region II, the particle is contained within a finite region of space and
V = 0. 1-D time-indep. Schrodinger’s eq. becomes

That means that the energy of the particle in the infinite potential well
is “quantized”. That is, the energy of the particle can only have
particular discrete values.

We can solve B1, A2, B2, and A3 in terms of A1 from boundary
conditions:
– B3 = 0 , once a particle enters in region III, there is no potential
changes to cause a reflection, therefore, B3 must be zero.
– At x = 0 and x = a, the corresponding wave function and its first
derivative must be continuous.

The probability density function, or the probability of finding the
electron at a particular distance form the nucleus, is proportional to
100*100 and also to the differential volume of the shell around the
nucleus.
The electron is not localized at a given radius.
