摘要
We investigate the Dirac cone in alpha-graphdiyne, which is a predicted flat one-atom-thick allotrope of carbon using first-principles calculations. alpha-graphdiyne is derived from graphene where two acetylenic linkages (-C a parts per thousand C-) are inserted into the single bonds (-C-C-). Thus, alpha-graphdiyne possesses a larger lattice constant which subsequently affects its electronic properties. Band structures show that alpha-graphdiyne exhibits similar Dirac points and cone to graphene. Further, the tight-binding method is used to exploit the linear dispersion in the vicinity of Dirac points. Thanks to the larger lattice constant, alpha-graphdiyne yields a lower Fermi velocity, which might make itself an ideal material to serve the anomalous integer quantum Hall effect.
