    Consider a two-dimensional square lattice of spacing a. Let z be the number of conduction electrons per
    unit cell.
    (a) Draw the first three Brillouin zones in the extended zone scheme.
    (b) Neglecting the periodic potential due to the lattice, compute the Fermi momentum kF for z = 1, 2,
    3 and 4.
    (c) Draw the Fermi surface for z = 1, 2, 3 and 4, first in the extended zone scheme and then in the
    reduced zone scheme.
    (d) Show qualitatively how the Fermi surface changes when the effects of the periodic potential are
    included
