The set of all such surfaces is known as the Fermi surface, and is the
generalization to Bloch electrons of the free electron Fermi sphere. The parts of
the Fermi surface arising from individual partially filled bands are known as
branches of the ...

Evidently the surfaces bounding the zones become increasingly complex as the
zone number increases. In practice it is often simplest to construct free electron
Fermi surfaces by procedures (such as those described in Problem 4) that avoid
...
