gftool.lattice.kagome.dos

gftool.lattice.kagome.dos(eps, half_bandwidth)

DOS of non-interacting 2D kagome lattice.

The delta-peak at eps=-2*half_bandwidth/3 is ommited and must be treated seperately! Without it, the DOS integrates to 2/3.

Besides the delta-peak, the DOS diverges at eps=0 and eps=2*half_bandwidth/3.

The Green’s function and therefore the DOS of the 2D kagome lattice can be expressed in terms of the 2D triangular lattice gftool.lattice.triangular.dos, see [kogan2021]. Omitting the non-dispersive peak, it corresponds to gftool.lattice.honeycomb.dos shifted by half_bandwidth/3.

Parameters:

epsfloat np.ndarray or float

DOS is evaluated at points eps.

half_bandwidthfloat

Half-bandwidth of the DOS, DOS(eps < -2/3`half_bandwidth`) = 0, DOS(4/3`half_bandwidth` < eps) = 0. The half_bandwidth corresponds to the nearest neighbor hopping \(t=2D/3\).

Returns:

float np.ndarray or float

The value of the DOS.
