For part of a project I need to solve the time-independent Schrödinger equation, HΨ=EΨ (where H is the matrix with elements ⟨Ψi|H|Ψj⟩, and S is a matrix with elements ⟨Ψi|Ψj⟩) for different lattices. I've done this for a square lattice but I'm having trouble with the hexagonal lattice. The difficulty I'm having with this is that the matrix is different depending on which sub lattice, A or B (see image below), you start on since they different possible directions (therefore different corresponding energies) to travel in.
Edit: I forgot to mention that I am using the tight binding approximation so unless Ψi and Ψj are next to each other then ⟨Ψi|H|Ψj⟩=0. In terms of the image above, only δ movement is allowed. δ1, δ2 and δ3 are all different in this case.
Anyone know how to make the matrix of Hamiltonians for this lattice? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
