of a plane, an effect that does not occur in 3D bulk Fe.
The problem is immensely complex because it involves the interplay
of many factors: the crystal lattice, magnetism,
orbitals,
electrons — they are all involved and all play a part.

Friedmann proved that for
orbitals in which the
electron whizzes around the nucleus with a lot

Some half truths here, an atom

orbital electron, leaving 46
electrons in orbit instead
of the 47
electrons found in an atom
of silver.
Since it is the outermost

what exactly is it that determines the probability

of thermo...)-- and does it make sense to use an k, E diagram when
electrons are not actually propagating as plane waves — I mean, what is the wavevector when the waveform is not a plane wave; is k a function
