So in energy variable, <strong>the</strong> density <strong>of</strong> states is<br />

2πkF Note that we are taking <strong>the</strong> Fermi energy at <strong>the</strong> origin, so zero<br />
energy here means Fermi energy. Combining <strong>the</strong>se ideas, we<br />
obtain<br />

<strong>The</strong> lower limit <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> integral is 0, <strong>the</strong> Fermi level. To find <strong>the</strong><br />
upper limit, we recall that V kk ′ is zero if k − k ′ > ω D/ve.<br />
