Figure 15: Single particle energy spectrum of unbound neutrons in the ground state of the inner crust
composed of 200Zr, at 7 1011 g cm–3, obtained by Chamel et al. [96]. Left: calculation
in the Wigner–Seitz approximation. Right: full band structure calculation (reduced zone scheme)
assuming that the crust is a body-centered cubic lattice with nuclear clusters (solid line) and without
(dashed line). The capital letters on the horizontal axis refer to lines or points in k-space, as indicated
in Figure 14.
