Scattering by linear defects in graphene: a tight-binding approach
| Resumo: | We develop an analytical scattering formalism for computing the transmittance through periodic defect lines within the tight-binding model of graphene. We first illustrate the method with a relatively simple case, the pentagon-only defect line. Afterwards, more complex defect lines are treated, namely the zz(558) and the zz(5757) ones. The formalism developed, only uses simple tight-binding concepts, reducing the problem to matrix manipulations which can be easily worked out by any computational algebraic calculator. |
