CHAPTER 1 1. The vectors xˆ + yˆ + zˆ and − xˆ − yˆ + zˆ are in the directions of two body diagonals of a cube. If θ is the angle between them, their scalar product gives cos θ = –1/3, whence θ = cos −1 1/ 3 = 90° + 19° 28' = 109° 28' .
2. The plane (100) is normal to the x axis. It intercepts the a' axis at 2a' and the c' axis at 2c' ; therefore the indices referred to the primitive axes are (101). Similarly, the plane (001) will have indices (011) when referred to primitive axes. 3. The central dot of the four is at distance

hkA is a plane defined by the points a1/h, a2/k, and a3 / A . (a) Two vectors that lie in the plane may be taken as a1/h – a2/k and a1 / h − a3 / A . But each of these vectors gives zero as its scalar product with G = ha1 + ka 2 + Aa3 , so that G must be perpendicular to the plane hkA . (b) If nˆ is the unit normal to the plane, the interplanar spacing is nˆ ⋅ a1/h . But nˆ = G / | G | , whence d(hkA) = G ⋅ a1 / h|G| = 2π / | G| .

Now S(fcc) = 0 only if all indices are even or all indices are odd. If all indices are even the structure factor of the basis vanishes unless v1 + v2 + v3 = 4n, where n is an integer. For example, for the reflection (222) we have S(basis) = 1 + e–i3π = 0, and this reflection is forbidden.

This will be decreased significantly by quantum corrections, so that it is quite reasonable to find the same melting points for H2 and Ne. 4. We have Na → Na+ + e – 5.14 eV; Na + e → Na– + 0.78 eV. The Madelung energy in the NaCl structure, with Na+ at the Na+ sites and Na– at the Cl– sites, is
αe2 (1.75) (4.80 × 10−10 ) 2 = = 11.0 ×10−12 erg, R 3.66 × 10−8 or 6.89 eV. Here R is taken as the value for metallic Na. The total cohesive energy of a Na+ Na– pair in the hypothetical crystal is 2.52 eV referred to two separated Na atoms, or 1.26 eV per atom. This is larger than the observed cohesive energy 1.13 eV of the metal. We have neglected the repulsive energy of the Na+ Na– structure, and this must be significant in reducing the cohesion of the hypothetical crystal. 5a.

6. For KCl, λ = 0.34 × 10–8 ergs and ρ = 0.326 × 10–8Å. For the imagined modification of KCl with the ZnS structure, z = 4 and α = 1.638. Then from Eq. (23) with x ≡ R0/ρ we have
x 2 e− x = 8.53 × 10−3. By trial and error we find x 9.2, or R0 = 3.00 Å. The actual KCl structure has R0 (exp) = 3.15 Å . For the imagined structure the cohesive energy is
U=
-αq 2 ⎛ p ⎞ U ⎜1⎟ , or 2 =-0.489 R0 ⎝ R0 ⎠ q
in units with R0 in Å. For the actual KCl structure, using the data of Table 7, we calculate
U = −0.495, q2
units as above. This is about 0.1% lower than calculated for the cubic ZnS structure. It is noteworthy that the difference is so slight. 7. The Madelung energy of Ba+ O– is –αe2/R0 per ion pair, or –14.61 × 10–12 erg = –9.12 eV, as compared with –4(9.12) = –36.48 eV for Ba++ O--. To form Ba+ and O– from Ba and O requires 5.19 – 1.5 = 3.7 eV; to form Ba++ and O-- requires 5.19 + 9.96 – 1.5 + 9.0 = 22.65 eV. Thus at the specified value of R0 the binding of Ba+ O– is 5.42 eV and the binding of Ba++ O-- is 13.83 eV; the latter is indeed the stable form. 8. From (37) we have eXX = S11XX, because all other stress components are zero. By (51),
3S11 = 2 (C11 − C12 ) + 1 (C11 + C12 ). 2
2
Thus Y = (C11 + C12 C11 − 2C12 ) (C11 + C12 ); further, also from (37), eyy = S21Xx, whence
σ = e yy e xx = S21 S11 = − C12 (C11 + C12 ).

We rewrite the element aij = p – δij(λ + p – q) as aij = p – λ′ δij, where λ′ = λ + p – q, and δij is the Kronecker delta function. With λ′ the matrix is in the “standard” form. The root λ′ = Rp gives λ = (R – 1)p + q, and the R – 1 roots λ′ = 0 give λ = q – p. b. Set
u (r, t) = u 0 ei[(K
3) (x + y + z) −ωt]
;
v(r, t) = v0 ei[. . . . .] ; w(r, t) = w 0 ei[. . . . .] , as the displacements for waves in the [111] direction. On substitution in (57) we obtain the desired equation. Then, by (a), one root is
ω2ρ = 2p + q = K 2 (C11 + 2C12 + 4C 44 ) / 3, and the other two roots (shear waves) are
ω2ρ = K 2 (C11 − C12 + C44 ) / 3. 13. Set u(r,t) = u0ei(K·r – t) and similarly for v and w. Then (57a) becomes 2

ω2ρu 0 = [C11K y + C44 (K y + K z )]u 0 + (C12 + C44 ) (K x K y v 0 + K x K z w 0 ) and similarly for (57b), (57c). The elements of the determinantal equation are

M12 = (C12 + C44 )K x K y ; M13 = (C12 + C44 )K x K z . and so on with appropriate permutations of the axes. The sum of the three roots of sum of the diagonal elements of the matrix, which is

is equal to the
(C11 + 2C44)K2, where 2

C12 C11 C12
C12 C12 C11
C44
C44
C44
The principal minors are the minors along the diagonal. The first three minors from the bottom are C44, C442, C443; thus one criterion of stability is C44 > 0. The next minor is C11 C44 3, or C11 > 0. Next: C443 (C112 – C122), whence |C12| < C11. Finally, (C11 + 2C12) (C11 – C12)2 > 0, so that C11 + 2C12 > 0 for stability.

CHAPTER 4 1a. The kinetic energy is the sum of the individual kinetic energies each of the form
1 2 Mu S . The force 2
between atoms s and s+1 is –C(us – us+1); the potential energy associated with the stretching of this bond is
1 C(u s − u s+1 ) 2 , and we sum over all bonds to obtain the total potential energy. 2 b. The time average of
1 1 2 Mu S is Mω2 u 2 . In the potential energy we have 2 4
u s +1 = u cos[ωt − (s + 1)Ka] = u{cos(ωt − sKa) ⋅ cos Ka + sin (ωt − sKa) ⋅ sin Ka}. Then
u s − u s +1 = u {cos(ωt − sKa) ⋅ (1 − cos Ka) − sin (ωt − sKa) ⋅ sin Ka}.
We square and use the mean values over time:
< cos 2 > = < sin 2 > =
1 ; < cos sin > = 0. 2
Thus the square of u{} above is
1 2 u [1 − 2cos Ka + cos 2 Ka + sin 2 Ka] = u 2 (1 − cos Ka). 2 The potential energy per bond is cos Ka) this is equal to
1 2 Cu (1 − cos Ka), and by the dispersion relation ω2 = (2C/M) (1 – 2
1 Mω2 u 2 . Just as for a simple harmonic oscillator, the time average potential 4
energy is equal to the time-average kinetic energy. 2. We expand in a Taylor series

3. From Eq. (20) evaluated at K = π/a, the zone boundary, we have
−ω2 M1u = −2Cu ; −ω2 M 2 v = −2Cv . Thus the two lattices are decoupled from one another; each moves independently. At ω2 = 2C/M2 the motion is in the lattice described by the displacement v; at ω2 = 2C/M1 the u lattice moves.

6. (a) The Coulomb force on an ion displaced a distance r from the center of a sphere of static or rigid conduction electron sea is – e2 n(r)/r2, where the number of electrons within a sphere of radius r is (3/4 πR3) (4πr3/3). Thus the force is –e2r/R2, and the

force constant is e2/R3. The oscillation frequency ωD is (force constant/mass)1/2, or (e2/MR3)1/2. (b) For

The result (a) is the force of a dipole ep up on a dipole e0 u0 at a distance pa. Eq. (16a) becomes ω = (2 / M)[γ (1 − cos Ka) + Σ (−1) (2e / p a )(1 − cos pKa)] . 2

1 ω = ωm | sin Ka|. We solve this for K to obtain 2 2 −1 K = (2/a) sin (ω / ωm ) , whence dK/dω = (2 / a)(ωm − ω2 ) −1/ 2 and, from (15), D(ω)
(a) The dispersion relation is

D(ω)= (L/2π)3 | dΩ/dω |= (L/2π)3 (2π / A 3/2 )(ω0 − ω)1/ 2 , provided ω < ω0. It is apparent that D(ω) vanishes for ω above the minimum ω0. 2. The potential energy associated with the dilation is

4. (a) The motion is constrained to each layer and is therefore essentially two-dimensional. Consider one plane of area A. There is one allowed value of K per area (2π/L)2 in K space, or (L/2π)2 = A/4π2 allowed values of K per unit area of K space. The total number of modes with wavevector less than K is, with ω = vK,
N = (A/4π2 ) (πK 2 ) = Aω2 / 4πv 2 . The density of modes of each polarization type is D(ω) = dN/dω = Aω/2πv2. The thermal average phonon energy for the two polarization types is, for each layer,

(b) If the layers are weakly bound together, the system behaves as a linear structure with each plane as a vibrating unit. By induction from the results for 2 and 3 dimensions, we expect C ∝ T . But this only holds at extremely low temperatures such that τ << =ωD ≈ =vN layer / L , where Nlayer/L is the number of layers per unit length.

and the electric current density is

7. (a) From the drift velocity equation
iωv x = (e m)E x + ωc v y ; iωv y = (e m)E y − ωc v x . We solve for vx, vy to find
(ωc − ω2 )v x = iω( e m )E x + ωc ( e m )E y ; 2
(ωc − ω2 )v y = iω( e m )E y + ωc ( e m )E x . 2
We neglect the terms in ωc2. Because j = n(–e)v = σE, the components of σ come out directly. (b) From the electromagnetic wave equation
c 2∇ 2 E = ε∂ 2 E ∂t 2 , we have, for solutions of the form ei(kz – ωt), the determinantal equation
ε xx ω2 − c 2 k 2 ε xy ω2 = 0. ε yx ω2 ε yy ω2 − c 2 k 2

Here ε xx = ε yy = 1 − ωP

CHAPTER 7 1a. The wavevector at the corner is longer than the wavevector at the midpoint of a side by the factor √2. As ε ∝ k2 for a free electron, the energy is higher by (√ 2)2 = 2. b. In three dimensions the energy at a corner is higher by (√ 3)2 than at the midpoint of a face. c. Unless the band gap at the midpoint of a face is larger than the kinetic energy difference between this point and a corner, the electrons will spill over into the second zone in preference to filling up the corner states in the first zone. Divalent elements under these conditions will be metals and not insulators. 2. ε = h/ k 2m , where the free electron wavevector k may be written as the sum of a vector K in the reduced zone and of a reciprocal lattice vector G. We are interested in K along the [111] direction: from 2

The numerical result follows on using N = 6.02 × 1023 mol–1. 2a. Eu++ has a half-filled f shell. Thus S = 7 × 1/2 = 7/2. The orbitals mL = 3, 2, 1, 0, –1, –2, –3 have one spin orientation filled, so that L = ΣmL = 0. Also J = L + S = 7/2. Hence the ground state is 8S7/2. b. Yb+++ has 13 electrons in the f shell, leaving one hole in the otherwise filled shell. Thus L = 3, S = 1/2, J = 7/2 -- we add S to L if the shell is more than half-filled. The ground state symbol is 2F7/2. c. Tb+++ has 8 f electrons, or one more than Eu++. Thus L = 3; S = 7/2 – 1/2 = 3; and J = 6. The ground state is 7F6. 3a.

For Co the wall energy will be higher than for iron roughly in the ratio of the (anisotropy 2 constant K1)1/2, or 10. Thus σ w ≈ 3 ergs cm . For Co, Ms = 1400 (at room °
temperature), so M s ≈ 2 ×106 erg cm . We have dc ≈ 3 2 ×106 ≈ 1.10−6 cm, or 100 A, as the critical size. The estimate is very rough (the wall thickness is dc; the mag. en. is handled crudely). 2

which is larger than (59) for iron. (According to Table 8.1 of the book by R. M. White and T. H. Geballe, the Bloch wall thickness in Permalloy is 16 times that in iron; this large value of δ favors the changeover to Néel walls in thin films.) 8. (a) Consider the resistance of the up and down spins separately. Magnetizations parallel: R↑↑ (up ) = σ p−1 ( L / A) + σ p−1 ( L / A) = 2σ p−1 ( L / A)
R↑↑ (down) = σ a−1 ( L / A) + σ a−1 ( L / A) = 2σ a−1 ( L / A) These resistances add in parallel: R↑↑ = R↑↑ (down) R↑↑ (up) /[ R↑↑ (down) + R↑↑ (up)] = 2( L / A) /(σ a + σ p ) Magnetizations antiparallel: R↑↓ (up ) = σ p−1 ( L / A) + σ a−1 ( L / A) R↑↓ (down) = σ a−1 ( L / A) + σ p−1 ( L / A) = R↑↓ (up)
These (equal) resistances add in parallel : R↑↓ = R↑↓ (up ) / 2 = ( L / A)(σ a−1 + σ p−1 ) / 2 The GMRR is then: GMRR = R↑↓ / R↑↑ − 1 = (σ a−1 + σ p−1 )(σ a + σ p ) / 4 − 1 = (σ a / σ p + σ p / σ a − 2) / 4 (b) For the ↑↓ magnetization configuration, an electron of a given spin direction must always go through a region where it is antiparallel to the magnetization. If σa → 0, then the conductance is blocked and the resistance R↑↓ is infinite.

4. For small θ, we have U K − Kθ2 . Now the magnetic energy density U M = − BM cos θ − 1 − BM + BMθ2 , so that with proper choice of the zero of energy the anisotropy energy is 2 equivalent to a field BA = 2K M
along the z axis. This is valid for θ << 1 . For a sphere the demagnetizing field is parallel to M and exerts no torque on the spin system. Thus B0 + BA is the effective field. 5. We may rewrite (48) with appropriate changes in M, and with Banisotropy = 0. Thus +

CHAPTER 14 ∂ϕ = kA sin kx e kz , and at the boundary this is equal to Exi. The normal ∂x component of D at the boundary, but outside the medium, is ε(ω)kA cos kx, where for a plasma ε(ω) = 1 – ωp2/ω2. The boundary condition is –kA cos kx = ε(ω)kA cos kx, or ε(ω) = –1, or ωp2 = 2ω2. This frequency ω = ωp 2 is that of a surface plasmon.

−ω2 x h = (e/m h )E x + iωωh y h ; − ω2 y h = (e/m h )E y − iωωh x h . The result follows on forming ξe = xe + iye and ξh = xh + iyh. (b) Expand −1 (ωe + ω) −1 ωe (1 − ω / ωe ) and (ωh − ω) ωh −1 (1 + ω / ωh ) . In this approximation −1

The dielectric constant ε(ω) = 1 + 4πP + / E + 4πpe 2 / m h ωh ω , and the dispersion relation ε(ω)ω2 = c2k2 becomes 4πpe2ω/(eB/c) = c2k2. Numerically, ω ≈ [(103 )(3 × 1010 ) /(10)(3 × 1022 )(5 × 10−10 )] ≈ 0.2 s −1 . It is true that ωτ will be <<1 for any reasonable relaxation time, but ωc τ > 1 can be shown to be the applicable criterion for helicon resonance. 5. md 2r/dt 2 = − mω2r = −eE = 4πeP/3 = −4πne 2r/3 .

because we may then complete a contour with a semicircle in the upper half-plane, over which semicircle the integral vanishes. The integral over the entire contour is zero because α(ω) is analytic in the upper half-plane. Therefore x(t) = 0 for t < 0. 1b. We want ∞

which is called the retarded Green’s function of the problem. We can complete a contour integral by adding to x(t) the integral around an infinite semicircle in the upper halfplane. The complete contour integral vanishes because the integrand is analytic everywhere within the contour. But the integral over the infinite semicircle vanishes at t < 0, for then exp ⎡⎣ −i ( ωR + iωI ) ( − t ) ⎤⎦ = exp ( −ωI t ) exp ( iωR t ) , which → 0 as |ω| → ∞. Thus the integral in (A) must also vanish. For t > 0 we can evaluate x(t) by carrying out a Cauchy integral in the lower half-plane. The residues at the poles are

where the sign of Ey has been reversed relative to Bz in order that the direction of energy flux (Poynting vector) be reversed in the reflected wave from that in the incident wave. For the transmitted wave in the dielectric medium we find E y ( trans ) = ck Bz ( trans ) εω = ε −1 2 Bz ( trans ) = A"e (

by use of the Maxwell equation c curl H = ε∂E/∂t and the dispersion relation εω2 = c2k2 for electromagnetic waves. The boundary conditions at the interface at x = 0 are that Ey should be continuous: Ey (inc) + Ey (refl) = Ey (trans), or A – A' = A''. Also Bz should be continuous, so that A + A' = ε1/2 A''.

CHAPTER 17 1. (a) The interference condition for a linear lattice is a cos θ = nλ. The values of θ that satisfy this condition each define a cone with axis parallel to the fiber axis and to the axis of the cylindrical film. Each cone intersects the film in a circle. When the film is flattened out, parallel lines result. (b) The intersection of a cone and a plane defines a conic section, here a hyperbola. (c) Let a, b be the primitive axes of a square lattice. The Laue equations (2.25) give a • ∆k = 2 πq; b • ∆k = 2 πr, where q, r are integers. Each equation defines a set of planes. The intersections of these planes gives a set of parallel lines, which play in diffraction from a two-dimensional structure the role played by reciprocal lattice points in diffraction from a three-dimensional structure. In the Ewald construction these lines intersect a sphere of radius k = 2 π/λ in a set of points. In two dimensions any wavelength (below some maximum) will give points; in three dimensions only special values of λ give points of intersection because one more Laue equation must be satisfied. The points correspond to the directions k' of the diffraction maxima. If the photographic plate is flat the diffraction pattern (2 dim.) will appear distorted.
Points near the direction of the incident beam are shown. (d) The lattice of surface atoms in the (110) surface of an fcc crystal is simple rectangular. The long side of the rectangle in crystal (real) space is a short side in the reciprocal lattice. This explains the 90° rotation between (21a) and (21b). 2.

(c) Quantization of k along x: kx(na)=2πj= kx =2π j/na. Assume n = 3i, where i is an integer. Then: kx = K(j/2i). For j = 2i, kx=K. Then ∆K = k y ˆj and there is a massless subband. (d) For n = 10, kx =2π j/10a =K(3j/20). The closest k comes to K is for j = 7, where ∆kx = K/20. Then:
ε 11 = 2=vF (4π / 3a) / 10 = 1.8 eV. The next closest is for j = 6, where ∆kx = K/10, twice the previous one. Therefore: ε22 = 2ε11 . (e) For the lowest subband: ∆k = ( K / 20) 2 + k y2 , so: 2
