Density of states in 2 dimensions. Consider graphene, a 2 dimensional material which has a very unusual energy dispersion: E(k) -hkvF where VFis called the Fermi velocity and vF 10 m/s for all values of k. In k-space the dispersion looks like cone, called the Dirac cone, because the electrons behaves as relativist particles. The Fermi energy for intrinsic graphene is Ef-0, but can be electrostatically doped to Ef O - hkv; where Vris called the Fermi velocity and V...
