The analysis is performed both in the absence and in the presence of the spin-orbit coupling. We also discuss the bands merging in the Brillouin zone symmetry points and the conditions for the latter to become Dirac points.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v8", "updated": "2012-11-11T04:34:46.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "symmetry classification", "brillouin zone symmetry points", "group theory algebra", "electron energy bands", "dirac points" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 6, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1203.4492K" } } }
