From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 1900 Drude developed a powerful model to explain the thermal, electrical, and optical properties of matter.
In 1933, Arnold Sommerfeld and Hans Bethe modified the Drude model, simply by replacing the classical gas (follow Maxwell distribution) with a Fermi gas (Quantum Mechanical version of an ideal gas; follow Fermi-Dirac distribution), leading to the Drude-Sommerfeld model.
In 1957, Lev Landau proved that a gas of interacting particles can be described by a system of almost non-interacting 'quasiparticles' that, in the case of electrons in a metal, can be well described by the Drude model.
(So, the Drude-Sommerfeld model is popular to study advanced devices like graphene FET.)

Given an electric field
Can you derive it, starting from thevelocity distribution f() in a Fermispherical gas? (Care must be taken.)

How many of energies within the sphere, evenat T = 0K?
Different view of electron transport, Only by Fermi velocity at Fermi surface
Still under Independent Electron Approximation Free Electron Approximation Relaxation Time Approximation
So, focus on the fastest (Fermi) electrons only.

As claimed in the textbook, the resulting mean free path in a Fermi gas picture appears to be reasonable. But, do you thinkif it is right?
