[Pw_forum] Graphene band structure

[Elie Moujaes]

Thanks again for your reply. I will have a look at these papers. But my case is simply monolayer graphene and there is no intercalation..Can these bands still exist?

Why do they should not exist? What's your computational parameters? 
Actually, these bands exist! These bands correspond to the so called "interlayer bands" in the intercalated graphite compounds (GICs) and responsible for the superconductivity phenomenom in GICs.

What's yours references for the graphene band structure? From a chinese paper in early 2009, you can verify the existence of the "interlayer bands" in the Fig. 1 therein. In addition, the reference [20] and [21] therein may be also useful for you. 
Reference: Huang Liangfeng et al.,"Lattice dynamics of hydrogen-substituted graphene systems", Acta Physica Sinica vol. 58 page s306-312 (2009). 

Best Wishes!
