The electronic spectrum of fullerenes from the Dirac equation

Abstract

The electronic spectrum of sheets of graphite (plane honeycomb lattice) folded into regular polyhedra is studied. A continuum limit valid for sufficiently large molecules and based on the tight-binding approximation is derived. It is found that a Dirac equation describes the flat graphite lattice. Curving the lattice by insertion of odd-numbered rings can be mimicked by coupling effective gauge fields. In particular the C60 and related molecules are well described by the Dirac equation on the surface of a sphere coupled to a color monopole sitting at its center.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
