Next, we approximate � a k ′V kk ′ to an integral. To do this, we<br />

need <strong>the</strong> density <strong>of</strong> states. We know that<br />

k = nπ/R.<br />

So <strong>the</strong>re is one state for every interval <strong>of</strong> π/R in k, or <strong>the</strong><br />

density <strong>of</strong> state is<br />

g(k) = R/π.<br />

We now come to an important point. We are going to impose<br />

<strong>the</strong> condition that k must be above <strong>the</strong> Fermi level. We shall<br />

intepret this condition after we have found <strong>the</strong> bound state.<br />

Recall<br />

ε = �2 k 2<br />
