I know how to calculate band structure of two dimensionaI sheets by tight binding. I am looking for a reference to learn thoroughly how to calculate band structure of 2d-ribbons (Graphene nanoribbon, Silicene nanoribbon,...) using tight binding method. Could anyone please help me?

When calculating the band structure of graphene you assume it's infinite in extent through the Bloch Theorem. Decide how wide you want the nanoribbon to be and whether you want armchair or zigzag edges. It may be easier to work out some DFT code.

Yes. Of course. I am looking a very comprehensive tutorial for obtaining electronic structures using full analytical methods.
 

Thread 'Stability of persistent currents in superconductors regardless of temperature'

From the BCS theory of superconductivity is well known that the superfluid density smoothly decreases with increasing temperature. Annihilated superfluid carriers become normal and lose their momenta on lattice atoms. So if we induce a persistent supercurrent in a ring below Tc and after that slowly increase the temperature, we must observe a decrease in the actual supercurrent, because the density of electron pairs and total supercurrent momentum decrease. However, this supercurrent...

Thread 'Instantaneous dipole moment and orbitals'

Hi. I have got question as in title. How can idea of instantaneous dipole moment for atoms like, for example hydrogen be consistent with idea of orbitals? At my level of knowledge London dispersion forces are derived taking into account Bohr model of atom. But we know today that this model is not correct. If it would be correct I understand that at each time electron is at some point at radius at some angle and there is dipole moment at this time from nucleus to electron at orbit. But how...
