石墨烯(graphene)作为近年来的研究热点,有很多优异的物理性质。利用紧束缚方法(Tight-binding
approach)计算出的能量色散关系(energy dispersion relation)可以发现很多有趣的东西,同时对碳纳米管的研究也有一定的指导意义。

The values of Brillouin
zone A number of interesting and peculiar features emerge from
this figure. First it is clear that the valence and the conduction
bands touch each other at a number of finite momentum values. The
momentum values at which the two bands touch are termed Dirac
points (there are two in the Brillouin zone) and are represented by
the momentum vectors K and K’. As a consequence, graphene’s
spectrum does not have an energy gap. On the other hand, since the
bands only touch at two momentum points the density of states is
zero at the corresponding energy. Therefore, grapheme is sometimes
termed a zero-gap semiconductor with vanishing density of states at
the Fermi energy.(J. Phys.:
