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.
Edges of bands of continuous spectrum of periodic structures arise as maxima and minima of the dispersion relation of their Floquet--Bloch transform. It is often assumed that the extrema generating the band edges are non-degenerate. This…
We consider tunneling of quasiparticles through a rectangular quantum well, subject to periodic driving. The quasiparticles are the itinerant charges in two-dimensional and three-dimensional semimetals having a quadratic band-touching (QBT)…
Quantum particle transmission through locally periodic potentials surrounded by symmetric exterior potentials is analyzed. Closed-form conditions for locating energy peaks of total transmission are derived. Floquet/Bloch energy band types…
We examine transmission through a quantum graph vertex to which auxiliary edges with constant potentials are attached. We find a characterization of vertex couplings for which the transmission probability from a given "input" line to a…
We introduce a new model for investigating spectral properties of quantum graphs, a quantum circulant graph. Circulant graphs are the Cayley graphs of cyclic groups. Quantum circulant graphs with standard vertex conditions maintain…
We study the nature of the essential spectrum of the Dirichlet Laplacian in tubes about infinite curves embedded in Euclidean spaces. Under suitable assumptions about the decay of curvatures at infinity, we prove the absence of singular…

We consider the Dirac equation on periodic networks (quantum graphs). The self-adjoint quasi periodic boundary conditions are derived. The secular equation allowing us to find the energy spectrum of the Dirac particles on periodic quantum…
Consider a sequence of finite regular graphs (GN) converging, in the sense of Benjamini-Schramm, to the infinite regular tree. We study the induced quantum graphs with equilateral edge lengths, Kirchhoff conditions (possibly with a non-zero…
The tunneling conductance spectra of a normal-metal/insulator/quasi-one-dimensional superconductor is calculated by using the Blonder-Tinkham-Klapwijk formulation. The pairing symmetry of the superconductor is assumed to be $p$, $d$, and…
The spectrum of planar N=6 superconformal Chern-Simons theory, dual to type IIA superstring theory on $AdS_4 \times CP^3$, is accessible at finite coupling using integrability. Starting from the results of [arXiv:1403.1859], we study in…
We study the damped wave equation with a damping coefficient which is possibly singular and unbounded at infinity. In general, zero belongs to the spectrum of the corresponding generator, which prevents a uniform (exponential) decay for the…
For non-Hermitian equilateral q-pointed star-shaped quantum graphs of paper I [Can. J. Phys. 90, 1287 (2012), arXiv 1205.5211] we show that due to certain dynamical aspects of the model as controlled by the external, rotation-symmetric…
The aim of this article is to present a complete system of Floquet spectral invariants for the discrete Schr\"odinger operators with periodic potentials on periodic graphs. These invariants are polynomials in the potential and determined by…

We suggest a way of confining quasiparticles by an external potential in a small region of a graphene strip. Transversal electron motion plays a crucial role in this confinement. Properties of thus obtained graphene quantum dots are…
