An important consideration in materials physics is the number of defects that are unavoidable due to statistical considerations.

Defects influence structural, electronic and optical properties. The equilibrium statistical physics of defects in a material can be modeled as a collection of N two-state systems. Every atomic site can be either, (a) occupied with an atom, in which case its energy is zero, or (b) occupied by a defect, in which case its energy is e. The formation energy (€) is the energy needed to remove an atom from the regular lattice position to an interstitial position, from which it diffuses out of the crystal
(a) Determine the partition function for this system, in terms of N, E, and T.
(b) What is the Helmholtz free energy (F) and the internal energy (U) for a sample of N atoms?
(c) What is the average number of defects, in terms of N, E, and T?
(d) Assume the formation energy is 1 eV. If you have a collection of spherical copper nanocrystals with a radius of 50 nm at room temperature, what is the minimum number of nanocrystals that you would need in a sample before you could expect (on average) that only one of them would have a single defect and the others would be defect free?

How do high-energy electrons from glycolysis and the krebs cycle contribute to the formation of atp from adp in the electron tra
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer

Together with glycolysis, The Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain release about 36 molecules of ATP per molecule of glucose.The Krebs cycle uses the two molecules of pyruvic acid formed in glycolysis and yields high-energy molecules of NADH and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FADH2), as well as some ATP. The electron transport chain forms a proton gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane, which drives the synthesis of ATP

Use the drop-down menus to complete each sentence about the layers of the atmosphere. If the did not exist, Earth might be destr
ozzi

Answer:

If the mesosphere did not exist, Earth might be destroyed by chunks of rock from space.

The stratosphere is located 12 to 50 kilometers from Earth's surface.

Both the trophosphere and mesosphere get colder as altitude increases.

The ozone in the stratosphere protects people from ultraviolet (UV) radiation.

The thermosphere has the highest temperature of any layer in Earth's atmosphere.

Explanation:

Different layers of the atmosphere are;

  • Troposphere

It is the lowest layer of atmosphere that begins at ground level and extends upward to about 10 km. In this layer, all organisms live, weather occurs and most clouds appear. As altitude increases, the temperature decreases i.e., the layer gets colder.

  • Stratosphere

This layer is located at the top of the troposphere  and extends up to about 50 km from Earth's surface. The ozone layer present in this layer absorbs high-energy ultraviolet (UV) light from the Sun. Here, the temperature rises with altitude. The passenger jets are usually fly in this layer.

  • Mesosphere

Above the stratosphere, the mesosphere extends upward to about 85 km from Earth's surface. The chunks of rock from space such as meteors burn upon entering the mesosphere and protect the Earth. In this layer, the temperature gets colder as altitude increases and so the coldest temperatures (about -90° C) in Earth's atmosphere are found at the top of this layer.  

  • Thermosphere

This layer is located above the mesosphere and the air here is really very thin. The thermosphere absorbs high-energy X-rays and UV radiation from the Sun and as a result, its temperature increases to hundreds or thousands of degrees i.e., 1,500° C or higher. This layer extends up to 500 to 1,000 km from the ground. Many satellites orbit Earth within this layer.

  • Ionosphere

The ionosphere is actually an extension of the thermosphere and so it is not a distinct layer like the others. It is filled with charged particles produced from the ionization of molecules by high temperatures in the thermosphere caused by the high-energy radiation from the Sun. The phenomenon called auroras (Northern Lights and Southern Lights) occurs in this layer. The different regions of the ionosphere reflecting the radio waves back to Earth and make the long-distance radio communication possible.

If only an external force can change the velocity of a body, how can the internal force of the brakes bring a car to rest? 1. It
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

4. It is the force of the road on the tires (an external force) that stops the car.

Explanation:

If there is no friction between the road and the tires, the car won't stop.

You can see this, for example, when there is ice on the road. You can still apply the brakes (internal force), but since there is no friction (external force) the car won't stop.

The force of the brakes on the wheels is not what makes the car stop, it is the friction of the road against still tires that makes it stop.
