re=me±√m2e−Aπv2(q2εo−TeTnτo)2A
two positive roots implies,
me>√m2e−Aπv2(q2εo−TeTnτo)
m2e>m2e−Aπv2(q2εo−TeTnτo)
But for non complex solutions,
m2e>Aπv2(q2εo−TeTnτo)>0
q2εo>TeTnτo
This condition was also seen when re is a double root. As the y-intercept increases from zero, re has two positive values, then a double root, followed by two increasing positive roots. As re is symmetrical about the minimum point, both roots will have the same absolute gradient.
dredx|r1=−dredx|r2
Also, at these roots all forces sum to zero,
∑F=0, dPEredre=0
So, dPEredx=dPEredredredx=0 for both values of re.
Notice that the kink point expounded in previous posts still exist due to the square root in the expression for re. The kink point is given by,
re=me2A at the double root.
The following plot shows the situation as the y-intercept increases with decreasing T,
yintercept=q24πεo−TeTn4πτo
This is the reason why electrons can jump from the valence band to the conduction band across the kink point. The two valid values for re straddle the kink point, one in the valance band and one conduction band.
The plot suggests that there is a limit to which decreasing temperature can increase conductivity; right at the double root where re has only one solution. Beyond this point, re has no valid solution. Does this mean that the electron start falling off? Yes, a case of Bose-Einstein condensate. Luckily, T is restrained by T>0. The y-intercept cannot increase beyond,
yintercept≤q24πεo
At the double root, the y=intercept is,
v2A=14πr2e(q2εo−TeTnτo)
v2Ar2e=q24πεo−TeTn4πτo from the post "Electrons In Orbit Again"
Furthermore, increasing T shifts the y-intercept down and leaves a single positive solution above the kink point. Does this mean that the material is more conductive? If decreasing re widens a conduit for conduction electrons that results in a decrease in transverse velocity, then conductivity of the material decreases and vice versa.
Noteworthy is that there is a temperature point, Tc where one of the solutions to re is zero. This occurs when the y-intercept is zero,
q2εo=TeTnτo and re=meA
Where re is exactly twice the distance to the kink point. At this temperature point the material may also display high conductivity. It is expected that conductivity increases suddenly against a decreasing trend as temperature rises.
This value of temperature also suggests that the electrons can be easily pushed into the nucleus (at re=0) and create matter/anti-matter interactions. A critical matter/antimatter fusion temperature, Tc. Image that at this temperature, electrons are pushed into the nucleus with photons or magnetic pulses to trigger plasma formation.
