Spectra of graphs and semi-conducting polymers

Mathematical Physics 2009-09-29 v2 math.MP

Abstract

We study the band gap in some semi-conducting polymers with two models: H\"uckel molecular orbital theory and the so-called free electron model. The two models are directly related to spectral theory on combinatorial and metric graphs.
