Temperature dependent dispersion models applicable in solid state physics

Temperature-Dependent Dispersion Coefficients of Alkali Metals Using Equation of State

In this study, a temperature-dependent of the dispersion coefficients is calculated from equation state.The Lennard-Jones LJ (12-6-3) effective pair potential function and simple thermodynamic argumentwith the input PVT data of liquid metals are used to calculate the dispersion coefficients. The dispersioncoefficients ( , , ) 3 6 12 C C C are found to be a linear function of 1/T1+α , where T is...

Iii. Solid State Physics

The well known phenomenological theory of F. and H. London leads to rather severe restrictions for the electronic wave functions which might possibly account for the phenomenon of superconductivity. Yet all attempts to construct such wave functions according to the principle of quantum mechanics have been so far unsuccessful. This failure seems to stem from the use of one-electron functions for...

Iii. Solid State Physics

The application of symmetry considerations to the theory of superconductivity has been considered further. The problem consists of extending the methods recently advanced (1) so as to include the interaction of the electrons with the lattice vibrations. (See Quarterly Progress Report, April 15, 1951.) It now appears that the difficulties which have been blocking progress are not of a formal mat...

Solid State Physics

By definition, solid state is that particular aggregation form of matter characterized by strong interaction forces between constituent particles (atoms, ions, or molecules). As a result, a solid state material has an independent geometric form (in contrast to liquids, which take the form of the container) and an invariant volume (in contrast to gases/vapors) in given temperature and pressure c...
