### Sommerfeld theory (free electron model)
Atoms in a metal provide conduction electrons from their outer shells (often s-shells). These can be described as waves in the crystal, analogous to phonons. Hamiltonian of a free electron: Atoms in a metal provide conduction electrons from their outer shells (often s-shells). These can be described as waves in the crystal, analogous to phonons.
