Spreadsheet Modeling of Electron Distributions in Solids
Glassy, Wingfield V.
Journal of Chemical Education, v83 n2 p327 Feb 2006
A series of spreadsheet modeling exercises constructed as part of a new upper-level elective course on solid state materials and surface chemistry is described. The spreadsheet exercises are developed to provide students with the opportunity to interact with the conceptual framework where the role of the density of states and the Fermi-Dirac distribution function in shaping the electron distribution.
