Extended zone E-k diagram
Constant energy surfaces (all allowed k-values) for E=Ec in Ge, Si, GaAs
Ge E=Ec along 8 equivalent <111> directions
Si E=Ec along 6 equivalent <100> directions
GaAs E=Ec at k=0, one constant energy surface

Constant energy surface (Ge,Si)
Eight L valleys of Ge
Ge conduction band minima occurs right at zone boundary along
[111]
Half of the Ge surfaces are in the first Brillouin zone
