We propose a P T -symmetrically deformed version of the graphene tight-binding model under a magnetic field. We analyse the structure of the spectra and the eigenvectors of the Hamiltonians around the K and K ′ points, both in the P T -symmetric and P T -broken regions. In particular, we show that the presence of the deformation parameter V produces several interesting consequences, including the asymmetry of the zero-energy states of the Hamiltonians and the breakdown of the completeness of the eigenvector sets. We also discuss the biorthogonality of the eigenvectors, which turns out to be different in the P T -symmetric and P T -broken regions.

ABSTRACTThe electronic structure of nanodiamond clusters containing between 34 and 913 carbon atoms was calculated using a tight-binding Hamiltonian. All clusters had shapes represented by an octahedron with (111) facets with the top and the bottom vertices truncated to introduce (100) surfaces. The tight-binding Hamiltonian consisted of environment-dependent matrix elements, and C-H parameters fit to reproduce energy states of the cyclic C6 and methane. The calculations predict a density of states similar to bulk diamond for clusters with radii greater than ∼2.5nm, and insignificant differences in the potential distribution between the clusters and bulk diamond for radii greater than ∼1nm. Hydrogen passivated nanodiamond clusters are estimated to have an electron affinity of approximately -1.8 eV.

The iron-based superconductor FeTexSe1−x is one of the material candidates hosting Majorana vortex modes residing in the vortex cores. It has been observed by recent scanning tunneling spectroscopy measurement that the fraction of vortex cores having zero-bias peaks decreases with increasing magnetic field on the surface of FeTexSe1−x. The hybridization of two Majorana vortex modes cannot simply explain this phenomenon. We construct a three-dimensional tight-binding model simulating the physics of over a hundred Majorana vortex modes in FeTexSe1−x. Our simulation shows that the Majorana hybridization and disordered vortex distribution can explain the decreasing fraction of the zero-bias peaks observed in the experiment; the statistics of the energy peaks off zero energy in our Majorana simulation are in agreement with the experiment. These agreements lead to an important indication of scalable Majorana vortex modes in FeTexSe1−x. Thus, FeTexSe1−x can be one promising platform having scalable Majorana qubits for quantum computing.

We present tight binding molecular dynamics simulations of the diffusion and bonding of hydrogen in bulk diamond. The motion of hydrogen atoms and the resultant structural and electronic energy level changes are investigated. The hydrogen atoms were found to have a tendency to migrate to the surface layer of diamond, resulting in a local deformation of the lattice, creating new energy states above and below the Fermi energy in the bandgap of the diamond density of states. In the diamond bulk, at high hydrogen concentrations, vacancies created by a hydrogen atom are quickly filled with other hydrogen atoms causing a deformation of the diamond lattice, inducing H 2 formation. This creates new energy states above the Fermi energy and reduces the secondary bandgap of the diamond density of states.
