Density of states of a monatomic body centered cubic crystal in the tight-binding approximation

The density of states was calculated by taking 4 × 106 random points in the first Brillouin zone, calculating the energy of the points, and plotting the distribution of the resulting energies. Since there are 2 states per atom, the integral of the density of states over the whole band should be 2.
