The existence/absence of Dirac cones in graphynes

We investigate the physical origin of the existence or absence of Dirac cones in graphynes by combining first-principles calculations with the downfolding method. We clarify that acetylenic linkages (−C≡C−) can be reduced into an effective hopping term between vertex atoms, and thus various graphyne...
