The Attempt at a Solution
From my thread in the Solid State section (and input from DrDu): The Thomas-Fermi wavevector relates to the damping of an electric field caused by build up of carriers around an impurity (screening). Where, ##2\pi/k_0## is the characteristic length over which a static perturbation is screened in a metal.
The trouble I'm having with this question is that I don't understand how to use the valance band shell information, please could someone explain to me how the information may be used to determine resistivity.
Thanks for any help.
