Since binding energy differs for different nuclei, can release or absorb energy when nuclei either fuse or ...

To solve the Schrödinger equation we need appropriate boundary conditions for a metal. Standard ‘particle in a box’: set ψ = 0 at boundaries. This is not a good representation of a solid, ...
