Calculating the band structure of graphene

In this video we are going to dive into the calculation of the electronic structure of graphene, a two dimensional honeycomb lattice of carbon atoms. To this end, we will apply the linear combination of atomic orbitals method. If you’re not familiar with this topic, you can check our video on the topic in our solid state physics playlist. Here, we will present a step-by-step calculation that includes all the ingredients to fully understand the basics of electronic states in graphene. The procedure presented here is general and can be utilized to calculate the electronic structure of any crystalline material system.

Excuse me sir, is there a multiplier (factor structure) missing in the H^{BA}_{s, px} component? Sorry for my bad english

Thank you so much for your video! I am doing some research in this topic and this has helped me a lot. However, I was wondering if there are any references we can follow to get some details in the computational part of the eigenvalues and to get the plots.

Thank you in advanced!😊
