The density of states at the fermi energy is given by D(E_F)=(3/2)n/E_F I understand the density of states is the number of states per energy per unity volume, accounting for n/E_F. I don't understand how the 3/2 multiplying factor accounts for the volume?

I'll have a look at them thanks.

Homework Statement Here g(ε_f) is the density of levels at the Fermi energy and T is the temperature. Calculate the specific heat of the electron gas in potassium (K) treating it as a free gas. For a free gas the density of electrons at ε_f is: g(ε_f)=(3/2)(n/E_f) where n is the electron...
