### Exercise 3: a hypothetical material
A hypothetical metal has a Fermi energy $\varepsilon_F = 5.2 \, \mathrm{eV}$ and a density of states per unit volume $g(\varepsilon) = 2 \times 10^{10} \, \mathrm{eV}^{-\frac{3}{2}} \sqrt{\varepsilon}$.
A hypothetical metal has a Fermi energy $\varepsilon_F = 5.2 \, \mathrm{eV}$ and a density of states $g(\varepsilon) = 2 \times 10^{10} \, \mathrm{eV}^{-\frac{3}{2}} \sqrt{\varepsilon}$.
1. Give an integral expression for the total energy of the electrons in this hypothetical material in terms of the density of states $g(\varepsilon)$, the temperature $T$ and the chemical potential $\mu = \varepsilon_F$.
2. Find the ground state energy at $T = 0$.
