Abstract

The electronic structure of graphite-like materials is investigated within the framework of the tight binding model. The densities of states of simple hexagonal and Bernal graphite are calculated, induding two layer (2D) and bulk (3D) cases. The calculation employs Green's function techniques, resulting in essentially analytic solutions in terms of elliptic integrals. The Bernal density of states is found to agree qualitatively with experimental measurements and the extension of our studies to surface effects and carbon fibre structures is also discussed.
