石墨烯中第三近邻耦合的Dirac点变态

Dirac point metamorphosis from third-neighbor couplings in graphene

Cristina Bena, Laurent Simon

摘要:

研究了石墨烯在次近邻耦合(N2)和第三近邻耦合(N3)作用下的能带结构和态密度。我们表明,N3的值大于或等于1/3的最近邻跳跃(NN)的值,额外的狄拉克点出现在频谱中。如果N3恰好等于1/3 NN,新的狄拉克点位于布里渊区的M点处,并且是混合的:电子沿着伽马M方向具有线性色散,并且沿着垂直方向MK具有二次色散。对于较大的N3值,新点具有线性色散,并且沿着MK线定位。当N3的值等于1/2 NN时,这些点在K点处与狄拉克锥合并,在K周围产生无间隙的二次色散,而当N3的值更大时,K处的每个二次点再次分裂成四个狄拉克点。改变N2耦合的影响不是那么显著。我们计算的态密度,我们表明,增加N3耦合降低的能量的范霍夫奇点,当N3是大于1/3 NN的范霍夫奇点分裂成两个,从而引起额外的奇点在低能量。

英文摘要:

We study the band structure and the density of states of graphene in the presence of a next-to-nearest-neighbor coupling (N2) and a third-nearest-neighbor coupling (N3). We show that for values of N3 larger or equal to 1/3 of the value of the nearest-neighbor hopping (NN), extra Dirac points appear in the spectrum. If N3 is exactly equal to 1/3 NN, the new Dirac points are localized at the M points of the Brillouin zone and are hybrid: the electrons have a linear dispersion along the GammaM direction and a quadratic dispersion along the perpendicular direction MK. For larger values of N3 the new points have a linear dispersion, and are situated along the MK line. For a value of N3 equal to 1/2 NN, these points merge with the Dirac cones at the K points, yielding a gapless quadratic dispersion around K, while for larger values each quadratic point at K splits again into four Dirac points. The effects of changing the N2 coupling are not so dramatic. We calculate the density of states and we show that increasing the N3 coupling lowers the energy of the Van Hove singularities, and when N3 is larger than 1/3 NN the Van Hove singularities split in two, giving rise to extra singularities at low energies.
