relation of fermi energy in 3D is E=h(cut square)k(square)/2m,
if i want a relation of fermi energy in 2D,what should i do?

This is not the Fermi energy. It is just the dispersion relation for free electrons.
It may give the Fermi energy if you take k=k_F where k_F is the so called Fermi radius (but it's a radius in the k space, not in real space).
The difference between the 3D case and 2D case is in the way you calculate the Fermi radius.
The Fermi radius is the radius of the "sphere"that contains all the occupied electron states.
In 2D the "sphere" is a circle.
 
got it,thnx.

its kf(square)=2 * pi *N /A
where N/A=no. of electrons per unit area,
kindly explain DISPERSION relation,
 
The dispersion relation is the relationship between wave-vector and frequency (k and omega) - for a wave. If the relation is linear then there is no dispersion (both phase and group velocities are independent of frequency).
By extension to a particle, the relationship between energy and momentum is sometimes called dispersion relation (for quantum particle, p=h*k and E=h*omega, so you can take it back to k-omega)

The dispersion relation is a characteristic of the medium in which the wave propagates (either EM wave or electron wave-function, or even elastic wave).
 
From the BCS theory of superconductivity is well known that the superfluid density smoothly decreases with increasing temperature. Annihilated superfluid carriers become normal and lose their momenta on lattice atoms. So if we induce a persistent supercurrent in a ring below Tc and after that slowly increase the temperature, we must observe a decrease in the actual supercurrent, because the density of electron pairs and total supercurrent momentum decrease. However, this supercurrent...
Hi. I have got question as in title. How can idea of instantaneous dipole moment for atoms like, for example hydrogen be consistent with idea of orbitals? At my level of knowledge London dispersion forces are derived taking into account Bohr model of atom. But we know today that this model is not correct. If it would be correct I understand that at each time electron is at some point at radius at some angle and there is dipole moment at this time from nucleus to electron at orbit. But how...
