For electrons, its square is equal to electron number density times fundamental charge squared, over epsilon-nought times electron mass.
In the Drude model, the reflectivity of metals drops sharply slightly above this value, which is what allows thinfilm TCOs to be window layers. On the right-hand side of the Bohm-Gross relation, the ratio of specific heats times electron thermal velocity times wave number is added to the square of this quantity. For electrons, its square is equal to electron number density times fundamental charge squared, over epsilon-nought times electron mass. A metal's plasmon energy is equal to (*) h-bar times this value. It characterizes the response of a plasma to small departures from charge neutrality and sets an upper bound on the wavelength of electromagnetic radiation that can pass through a plasma. For 10 points, name this value that is the rate at which electrons oscillate in a plasma and which is symbolized by omega-sub-p
