a) Explain how the alpha parameter in the general E(p) relation, and the channel dimension could be used to determine the density of states as function of the energy E.
b) Provide and define the two main parameters (terms) that determine the electron density when temperature is non zero.
The expression for the Fermi energy of electrons in a stellar interior is
εF =ℏ2 /2me [3pi 2 Z/A ρ/mp ] 2/3 (See image)
Derive the condition on the temperature and density for the electrons in the stellar interior to bedegenerate. Briefly explain the reason for this limit.
Demonstrate that the condition for degeneracy you have found corresponds to a straight line ina plot of log T versus log ρ.
Use the condition you have found to calculate whether the centre of the white dwarf Sirius B isdegenerate. Use values of ρc = 3.0 × 109 kg m−3, Tc = 7.6 × 107 K, and Z/A = 0.5.
The Morse potential
The harmonic potential, V(x) = ½kx?, is useful start for modelling molecular vibrations, but it has
limitations. A realistic potential between to atoms should accurately represent the sharp
increase in the potential as two nuclei come in close proximity, and also have the ability for a
bond to break: that is, an asymptote V →0 as x →00.
One option, as shown in the figure, is the Morse potential:
V(r) = D(1 – e-«(r=re))2

The parameter D is the well depth (or binding energy) of the potential, re is the bond length,
and a is the anharmonicity constant.
