K. Kadas et al., ATOMIC-STRUCTURE AND ELECTRONIC DENSITY-OF-STATES AROUND THE FERMI-LEVEL IN AMORPHOUS-CARBON MODELS, Solid state communications, 97(7), 1996, pp. 631-634
There are topologically determined energy levels concentrated around t
he Fermi level. Graph theory is used to estimate the density of states
near the Fermi level (E(F)) of amorphous carbon (a-C) structure. With
in F the ab initio Hartree-Fock calculations these states have lower e
nergies than E(F), but they remain the highest occupied states in the
electronic density of states.
