9.2.1 The figure shows the contour plot of a two-dimensional band structure used by "ziman", and a small segment of an electron trajectory. The energy at the point k_x = pi/a, k_y = 0, is 6.5 eV.
A) What is the energy at the point k_x = 0, k_y = pi/a?
B) What is the energy at the corner of the zone?
C) What is the energy of the electron whose trajectory is shown?
D) Does that trajectory illustrate response to an electric field, a magnetic field, or a combination of the two?
