Answer

At $E=4.00eV$, $N_0 = 1.36 \times 10^{28} m^{-3}.eV^{-1}$

Work Step by Step

The main formula is $N_0(E) = N(E) P(E)$ $N_0(E) = CE^{1/2} [e^{E_1 - E_F/kT} + 1]^{-1}$ Where C is $C = \frac{8\sqrt 2 \pi (9.109\times 10^{-31} kg)^{3/2}}{(6.626\times 10^{-34} J.s)^3}$ $C = 1.062 \times 10^{56} kg^{3/2}/J^3.s^3$ It can also be written as: $C = 6.81\times 10^{27} m^{-3}.eV^{-3/2}$ At $E=4.00 eV$, $E_F $ for copper is 7.00 eV $k = 8.62 \times 10^{-5} eV/K$ $T = 1000K$ $N_0(E) = \frac{6.81\times 10^{27} m^{-3}.eV^{-3/2}(4.00 eV)^{1/2} }{[e^{4.00 eV - 7.00eV/(8.62 \times 10^{-5} eV/K)(1000K)} + 1]}$ $N_0 = 1.36 \times 10^{28} m^{-3}.eV^{-1}$
