Proving Bravais Lattice Volume?!? Hi guys, So with a Bravais lattice, you have 3 basis vectors: a1, a2, and a3. I know that you would get the volume of the lattice as a scalar product of the three: V = a1 dot [a2 x a3]. How would you start going about PROVING this? A little direction...

Hey, Thanks for that! So if I divide up the t0 time into intervals, I can use the infinitesimal probability: P(t, t+t0) = P(t, t+ndt) {n--> infinity} so: P(t, t+ndt) = (1-dt/T)^n, now we sub the definition of t0 P(t, t+t0) = (1 - t0/nT)^n, taking the lim n--> infinity P(t...

Hi all, Edit: Here's the question, in case you guys don't have the book: In the Drude moel the probability of the electron suffering a collision in any infinintesimal interval dt is just dt/T. a) show that an electron picked at random at a given moment had no collision during the...
