Tight binding fermi surface

dimanche 30 mars 2014

On the attached file the tight binding dispersion for a 2d square lattice is described. It is then assumed that the fermi surface is a square. My question is: How can it ever be a perfect square when the dispersion looks as it does.

Also can someone explain:

Why does the half filled case correspond to:

-1 electron per lattice site (why will 2 electrons not occupy the ground state etc.)

- chemical potential μ=0
