Graduate Energy distribution of atoms in metal.
An ideal gas obeys Maxwell Boltzmann statistics. Gas atoms have an average kinetic energy of 3kT/2 but the individual atoms have energies that vary from this average (Chi square distributed). A solid (metal) has an average kinetic energy of about 3kT. Does anybody know what statistical...- BarryRE
