I want to plot band structure silicene in the following path: Γ→M→K→Γ
Do the following equation for the above path is correct:
close all
clear all
clc
aa=2.28;
a=3.86;
a1=(a/2)*[sqrt(3),-1,0];
a2=(a/2)*[sqrt(3),1,0];
b1y=-(2*pi)/a;
b1x=(2*pi)/(sqrt(3)*a);
b2x=b1x;
b2y=-b1y;
%K-point
pKx = (1/3)*b1x+(2/3)*b2x;
pKy = (1/3)*b1y+(2/3)*b2y;
%M-point
pMx = b2x/2;
pMy = b2y/(2);
%Gamma point
pGx = 0;
pGy = 0;
xxx =(0:0.05:1)';
%K-G
xx =xxx;
yy = xx;
xx = -(pKx - pGx)*xx + pKx;
yy = -(pKy -pGy)*yy + pKy;
%G-M
xx1 = xxx;
yy1 = xx1;
xx1 = -(pGx - pMx)*xx1 + pGx;
yy1 = -(pGy-pMy)*yy1 + pGy;
%M-k
xx2 = xxx;
yy2 = xx2;
xx2 = -(pMx - pKx)*xx2 + pMx;
yy2 = -(pMy -pKy)*yy2 + pMy;

xx = [transp(xx2),transp(xx),transp(xx1)];
yy =[transp(yy2),transp(yy),transp(yy1)];

for ope=1:length(xx),
k = [xx(ope),yy(ope),0]
end

Please first explain the model you are using and specify your algorithm (before giving the code). There are many unclear items in your post. Is your material sheet or ribbon? What is the Hamiltonian model you have used? What are the basis?
 
I'm using tight binding model. I wants to plotting band structure silicene in path : Γ→M→K→Γ.
lattice vectors:
a1=a/2*[sqrt(3),-1,0]
a2=a/2*[sqrt(3),1,0]
silicon atoms are positions at (0,0,0) and (a/sqrt(3),0,0.45).
 
From the BCS theory of superconductivity is well known that the superfluid density smoothly decreases with increasing temperature. Annihilated superfluid carriers become normal and lose their momenta on lattice atoms. So if we induce a persistent supercurrent in a ring below Tc and after that slowly increase the temperature, we must observe a decrease in the actual supercurrent, because the density of electron pairs and total supercurrent momentum decrease. However, this supercurrent...
