Effective Medium Approach to Electron Waves: Graphene Superlattices
We develop an effectivemedium approach to characterize the propagation of matterwaves in periodic structures, such as graphene or semiconductor superlattices. It is proven that the time evolution of the states that are not more localized in space than the characteristic period of the structure can be described exactly through an effective Hamiltonian, and that the electronic band structure of t...
متن کاملEffective Hamiltonian of strained graphene.
Based on the symmetry properties of the graphene lattice, we derive the effective Hamiltonian of graphene under spatially nonuniform acoustic and optical strains. Comparison with the published results of the first-principles calculations allows us to determine the values of some Hamiltonian parameters, and suggests the validity of the derived Hamiltonian for acoustical strain up to 10%. The re...
متن کاملFirst-principles effective-mass Hamiltonian for semiconductor nanostructures in a magnetic field
A multi-band effective-mass Hamiltonian is derived for lattice-matched semiconductor nanostructures in a slowly varying external magnetic field. The theory is derived from the first-principles magnetic-field coupling Hamiltonian of Pickard and Mauri, which is applicable to nonlocal norm-conserving pseudopotentials in the local density approximation to density functional theory. The pseudopotent...
متن کاملFirst principles of Hamiltonian medicine.
We introduce the field of Hamiltonian medicine, which centres on the roles of genetic relatedness in human health and disease. Hamiltonian medicine represents the application of basic social-evolution theory, for interactions involving kinship, to core issues in medicine such as pathogens, cancer, optimal growth and mental illness. It encompasses three domains, which involve conflict and cooper...
