  3. Abstract:
  4. Since the advent of graphene, the two-dimension allotrope of carbon, there has been a growing interest in calculation of quantum mechanical properties of this crystal and its derivatives. To this end, the tight-binding model has been in frequent use for a relatively long period of time. This review, presents an in-depth survey on this method as possible to graphene and two of the most important related structures, graphene anti-dot lattice, and graphane. The two latter derivatives of graphene are semiconducting, while graphane is semimetallic. We present band structure and quantum mechanical orbital calculations and justify the results with the density function theory
