Approximation of the Schrödinger Equation of 2D Materials:
The Hamiltonian of the Schrodinger Equation Hψ = Eψ is H = -∂²/∂x² - ∂²/∂z² + V(x, z), where the potential based on Kronig Penny Model is given by: V(x, z) = Σᵢ Σₗₙ V₀ⁱ δₑ(x + bᵢ - nᵢ) exp(-(z + Llᵢ)²ηᵢ) and Gaussian function defined by δₑ(x) = 1 / √(2π) e⁻(x² / 2ε²).
Observations: If the centers of the Gaussian functions are taken as [0, 0.4, 0.6], there are three isolated bands below the Fermi level, each separated by a band gap. However, we obtain one isolated and two entangled bands if the centers are taken at one-third ratios, i.e., [0, 0.33, 0.66]. Since all these bands are truncated within a certain value, we observe band folding in the given range.
