摘要
Artificial graphene is a recently realized, man-made nanosystem that exhibits graphene-like physics in a tunable setup. The system can be created by, e. g., positioning molecules in a triangular lattice on a metal surface. Here, we model finite flakes of artificial graphene on a real-space grid and calculate their single-electron properties as a function of the flake size and the strength of an external magnetic field. Our calculations reveal the gradual formation of Dirac cones as well as a self-similar Hofstadter butterfly as the flake size is increased. Moreover, the density of states qualitatively agrees with the experimental data with and without the magnetic field.
