The radius can be derived by calculating the total+volume enclosed: each block has volume :m:$\frac{\pi^3}{l_x l_y+l_z}=\frac{\pi^3}{V}$ and there are N/2 blocks occupied by N fermions, so: :m:$$\frac{1}{8}(\frac{4\pi}{3} |k_{F}|^{3})&=&\frac{Nq}{2}(\frac{\pi^{3}}{V})\\|k_{F}|&=&\sqrt{\frac{3Nq\pi^2}{V}}^3=\sqrt{3\pi^2\rho}^3$$ :m:$\rho$ is the "free fermion density". The corresponding energy is: -:m:$$E_{F}=\frac{\hbar^{2}}{2m}|k_{F}|^{2}=\frac{\hbar^{2}}{2m}\sqrt{3\rho \pi}^3$$+:m:$$E_{F}=\frac{\hbar^{2}}{2m}|k_{F}|^{2}=\frac{\hbar^{2}}{2m}(3\rho \pi)^{2/3}$$
