Key Points

  • To calculate and characterize the electronic band structure of graphite across two-dimensional and three-dimensional lattice configurations.
  • Applied tight-binding calculations to a two-dimensional model of the graphite lattice.
  • Conducted perturbation calculations using wave functions derived from the two-dimensional lattice to evaluate the three-dimensional lattice structure.
  • Identified a point of contact between the valence and conduction bands at the corner of the reduced Brillouin zone in the two-dimensional model.
  • Derived the structural features and parameterized representations of the π bands near the zone edge for three-dimensional graphite.

Abstract

Tight-binding calculations, using a two-dimensional model of the graphite lattice, lead to a point of contact of valence and conduction bands at the corner of the reduced Brillouin zone. A perturbation calculation which starts with wave functions of the two-dimensional lattice and is applied to the three-dimensional lattice is described. Some general features of the structure of the bands in the neighborhood of the zone edge are obtained and are expressed in terms of appropriate parameters.
