BRIZ: a vizualization program for Brillouin zone – Fermi sphere configuration

The program BRIZ has been developed for displaying Brillouin zones and Fermi sphere configurations. The underlying physics relates to the nearly-free-electron model for simple sp-metals. A Brillouin zone boundary near the Fermi level provides formation of the energy gap and leads to the lowering of the structure energy. Consideration of the Brillouin zone with respect to a free-electron Fermi sphere and zone filling by electron states provides useful information for phase structure stability and physical properties.
