Graphene : Dirac Fermions in 2D Shown here is energy as a function of wavevector, showing all the allowed electron states on graphene. This is what we call a band structure in condensed matter. This is valence band and this is conduction band. In a semiconductor for example Si, there would be band gap between the two, but what happens in graphene is very different: the valence band and conduction band actually touch at the six corner point of the B zone, if we…. For a comparison, here is the band structure of a typical semiconductor. there is a bandgap I was talking about and the whole thing
