Consider a two-dimensional hexagonal lattice:

(a) Draw the free electron Fermi surface in the reduced zone scheme when the lattice points are occupied by atoms with: i. One valence electron/atom. ii. Two valence electrons/atom.

Expert Solution

I have tried to solve from very basic which is required to draw free electron Fermi surface in the reduced zone scheme. I hope you will easily understand the solution. Thanks for asking questions.

For a 3D free electron gas, derive expressions for the Fermi momentum, Fermi energy, and density of levels. Then plot the density of levels and contrast its behavior as a function of energy. Your answers should be expressed in terms of the electron concentration n = N / V and some combination of fundamental constants.
