Relation between the symmetry of diperiodic atomic crystals and the existence of Dirac cones in their energy spectrum — •Vladimir Damljanovic and Rados Gajic — Institute of Physics Belgrade, Belgrade, Serbia

We have determined [1] sufficient conditions for the appearance of s=1/2 Dirac cones in any diperiodic, non-magnetic atomic crystal in which the spin-orbit coupling is negligible. Our group theoretical analysis of all 80 diperiodic groups, shows that combined time-reversal and crystal symmetry allows the existence of Dirac cones in the vicinity of K-points in the Brillouin zone, for systems belonging to certain hexagonal diperiodic groups. We have illustrated our results by a tight-binding example.
