<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif">Dear all,<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif">I wonder how the hopping term decays when it goes to further neighbours:<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif">H_ij=< W_i | H | W_j ><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif">I suppose that this term should decay exponentially as a function of the distance between the centres of W_i and W_j, but I cannot find a very rigid argument. Would you please give some comments on this or suggestions of reference that discusses about this issue? Thank you very much in advance. <br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif"><br clear="all"></div><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr">===================<br>Dr. Xiaochuan Ge (Giovanni)<div>Center for Functional Nanomaterials<br><div>Brookhaven national laboratory </div><div>===================</div></div></div></div></div>
