......@@ -40,7 +40,7 @@ How many electrons per unit cell can we expect for an insulator? To answer this
For a single band
$$ N_{states} = 2 \frac{L^3}{2\pi}^3 \int_{BZ} dk_x dk_y dk_z = 2 L^3 / a^3 $$
$$ N_{states} = 2 \frac{L^3}{(2\pi)^3} \int_{BZ} dk_x dk_y dk_z = 2 L^3 / a^3 $$
Here, $L^3/a^3$ is the number of unit cells in the system, so we see that a single band can host 2 electrons per unit cell (because of spin). If there are no overlapping bands, a system with 2 electrons per unit cell will therefore be an insulator/semiconductor.
