On Chiral Model of Graphene

Article Preview

Abstract:

The hybridized sp-states of valence electrons in the carbon atom can be describedby SU(2) matrix considered as the order parameter. The chiral model of graphene based onthis order parameter is suggested in the long-wave approximation, the ideal graphene planebeing determined by the kink-like solution. Corrugation of the graphene surface is describedin the form of ripple and rings. The approximate solution corresponding to an infinite carbonnanotube is found.
