Fig. 2: Density of states is concentrated near the band crossing point (π, π), where the two bands are shown in different colors.

In the patch model, states on the red band are replaced by a single point at (π, π), while states on the blue band are replaced by another point at (π, π). Here, we take t1 = t2 = t5 = 1, t3 = 0, t4 = 8, and μ = − 4. 20002 points are sampled, and states with energy (∣E∣ < 0.1) are plotted.
