If the dispersion relation is not spherically symmetric or continuously rising and can't be inverted easily then in most cases the DOS has to be calculated numerically. ) Sometimes the symmetry of the system is high, which causes the shape of the functions describing the dispersion relations of the system to appear many times over the whole domain of the dispersion relation. which leads to \(\dfrac{dk}{dE}={(\dfrac{2 m^{\ast}E}{\hbar^2})}^{-1/2}\dfrac{m^{\ast}}{\hbar^2}\) now substitute the expressions obtained for \(dk\) and \(k^2\) in terms of \(E\) back into the expression for the number of states: \(\Rightarrow\frac{1}{{(2\pi)}^3}4\pi{(\dfrac{2 m^{\ast}}{\hbar^2})}^2{(\dfrac{2 m^{\ast}}{\hbar^2})}^{-1/2})E(E^{-1/2})dE\), \(\Rightarrow\frac{1}{{(2\pi)}^3}4\pi{(\dfrac{2 m^{\ast}E}{\hbar^2})}^{3/2})E^{1/2}dE\).
