cm -', this being the value of kp corresponding to a Fermi energy of 4 ev. Because the dependence of R on g is given roughly by R~q 4, the uncertainty in the choice of q does lead to considerable uncertainty in R.Comparison of the theoretical and empirical values of q for sodium enables one to say that, for sodium at least, our estimate of R is not in error by more than a factor of 5.By an approximate integration of (1) it is easily
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
