Description

This lecture delves into the Electron theory, covering topics such as the metallic bond, Drude's assumptions on electron movement, Sommerfeld's wave functions in a 3D-potential well, and the Fermi energy. It discusses Drude's successful predictions and failures, as well as Sommerfeld's Fermi wave vector and energy levels.
