The Fermi surface (FS) of Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8+\delta}$ (Bi2212) predicted by band theory displays Bi-related pockets around the $(\pi,0)$ point, which have never been observed experimentally. We show that when the effects of hole…

We present for the first time the band structure calculation of $Bi_2Sr_2Ca_2Cu_3O_{10}$ compound in the tetragonal structure (space group $I4/mmm$). We used the Local Density Approximation (LDA) as in the Wien2k code. We analyze in detail…
