Remarks on the tight-binding model of graphene
We address a simple but fundamental issue arising in the study of graphene, as well as of other systems that have a crystalline structure with more than one atom per unit cell. For these systems, the choice of the tight-binding basis is not unique. For monolayer graphene two bases are widely used in the literature. While the expectation values of operators describing physical quantities should ...
متن کاملEffect of Curvature on the Mechanical Properties of Graphene: A Density Functional Tight-binding Approach
Due to the high cost of experimental analyses, researchers used atomistic modeling methods for predicting the mechanical behavior of the materials in the fields of nanotechnology. In the pre-sent study the Self-Consistent Charge Density Functional Tight-Binding (SCC-DFTB) was used to calculate Young's moduli and average potential energy of the straight and curved graphenes with different curvat...
متن کاملScalable tight-binding model for graphene.
Artificial graphene consisting of honeycomb lattices other than the atomic layer of carbon has been shown to exhibit electronic properties similar to real graphene. Here, we reverse the argument to show that transport properties of real graphene can be captured by simulations using "theoretical artificial graphene." To prove this, we first derive a simple condition, along with its restrictions,...
متن کاملConductance of Graphene Nanoribbon Junctions and the Tight Binding Model
Planar carbon-based electronic devices, including metal/semiconductor junctions, transistors and interconnects, can now be formed from patterned sheets of graphene. Most simulations of charge transport within graphene-based electronic devices assume an energy band structure based on a nearest-neighbour tight binding analysis. In this paper, the energy band structure and conductance of graphene ...
متن کاملTight-binding description of graphene
We investigate the tight-binding approximation for the dispersion of the p and p* electronic bands in graphene and carbon nanotubes. The nearest-neighbor tight-binding approximation with a fixed g0 applies only to a very limited range of wave vectors. We derive an analytic expression for the tight-binding dispersion including up to third-nearest neighbors. Interaction with more distant neighbor...
