Homework Statement
Given the dispersion equation of an electron in an electric field:
Homework Equations
a) calculate the velocity of the electron if k = π/a
b) If the electric field E is applied in the -x direction, derive the time
dependence of k for an electron initially at k = π/a and position x = 0.
c) Derive the time dependence of the electron velocity, v(t), and the
time dependence of the electron position, x(t).
The Attempt at a Solution
for a, do they mean the group velocity which is a function of 1/hbar * dE/dk?
