How can I check the position of chemical potential by determining the carrier density?

12 December 2015 1 4K Report

Please help me how one can determine the position of chemical potential by knowing the 2D carrier density in topological insulators?

Thank you

What is the difference between the band structures plotted as E vs k (-pi/a to +pi/a) and E vs k (where k is from M to K or K' edge of brillouin zone?

I know that when we plot band structure i.e E vs. k, the shape is parabolic. But when we plot band structure for E vs k, where k is different points (gamma, M, K or K') of Brillouin zone edge...
