摘要

The aim of this paper is to give a simplified calculation of the energy required to form a vacancy in a metal, which is applied to the noble and alkali metals. Although all such calculations are subject to considerable error unless many refinements are introduced, it is felt that such a calculation will give a useful indication of the various factors "which determine the energy and the variation from metal to metal. An outline of the method is as follows. The metal is represented as a large spherical box in which the positive charge of the ions is uniformly distributed and the electrons are free to move. When an ion is removed from the centre of the sphere and spread over its surface, the energy of the free electrons changes by DELTA E_(el), because the electron waves undergo phase shifts in order to screen the vacancy and the volume of the metal box changes. DELTA E_(el) is proportional to the Fermi energy of the metal E_F, and is estimated to be about 1/6E_F. For the noble metals another relevant contribution to the energy needed to create a vacancy is that of the closed-shell repulsion between ions: for Cu this is about -0.3 ev. The energy to move a vacancy is also discussed: the electronic contribution is fairly small and in noble metals the term due to the closed-shell repulsion predominates. This is probably somewhat underestimated if one uses repulsive potentials valid in the neighbourhood of the equilibrium interatomic distance. The general agreement between the theoretical results and the experimental values for the energies to form and to move a thermal defect in the alkali and noble metals is satisfactory and suggests that vacancies are responsible for the transport of matter also in the alkalis.
