Consider a square crystal of side L x L consisting of a simple square lattice of divalent metal with identical atoms of spacing a. Draw the contour lines of constant energy as a function of k, and k, for this crystal according to free electron theory and explain how these energy contours are perturbed by the lattice potential.
