23. R is a property of the 3D band structure. In a one-dimensional lattice a gap is present for all depths V>0.
24. This also means that a single-component Fermi gas is quite well described by a noninteracting theory.
25. F (the Fermi energy) is the energy of the highest occupied single-particle state for the system at T=0 K.
