Hi Everyone
I am calculating the band structure of rectangle graphene, which contains
about 60 C atoms. The high symmetry k-point path is: 0 0.5 0 - 0.5 0 0 - 0
0 0 - 0 0 0.5
However, the obtained "Dirac point" is not at the Gamma point or the K
point, instead it is at the 0.0000 0.3421 0.0000 point
In addition, the so-call "Dirac point" obtained in my calculation
contains a small band gap of 0.04 eV.
I don't know what cause this.
Is it due to the band folding? How to obtain the correct Dirac point in
rectangle graphene?
thanks
