Homework Statement
Calculate T(fermi), the fermi temperature for
a) Liquid 3He (density 81kg/m^3) [these are not electrons]
b) neutrons in a neutron star (density 10^17 kg/m^3)
Homework Equations
n, number density = z*Na*p / M (Na=avogadro, z=valence,p=density,M=molecular mass)
Kf^3 = 3pi^2 * n (Kf = fermi radius)
Ef = hbar^2 * Kf^2 / 2*m (fermi energy)
Tf = Ef/Kb (Kb - boltzmann)
The Attempt at a Solution
Only ever done these where we're dealing with electrons (for ex, potassium etc). Not sure where to go with it...
