Electronic Properties of Bilayer Graphene

Tight-binding analysis and band structure modeling

Course: PH436 - Condensed Matter Physics

Instructor: Prof. Hridis Kumar Pal

Duration: Nov 2024

  • Derived tight-binding Hamiltonian for bilayer graphene and plotted band structures near K-points on Python
  • Analyzed effects of varying hopping parameters and Vg on band structure evolution and bandgap opening
  • Derived effective two-band low-energy Hamiltonian by eliminating dimer states, showing massive chirality
