Title: Graphene layer over WSe2
Post by: muhammadishaq on April 4, 2025, 01:00
Hi all,

I hope you're doing well.

I am currently investigating the proximity effect between graphene and a WSe₂ layer, specifically looking for the band gap opening in graphene due to interaction with the WSe₂ substrate. However, despite several attempts and different approaches, I have not been able to observe the expected band gap in my calculations.

I’ve attached:

A band structure figure for your reference

The geometry optimization script

The band structure calculation script

Could you please take a look and let me know if you notice any issues or have suggestions for what might be going wrong?

Your feedback would be greatly appreciated! Thanks
