3.2 Honeycomb lattice structure in graphene (a) and first Brillouin zone (1BZ) of the honeycomb lattice (b). a) The vectors a1 and a2 are the lattice unit vectors in graphene and γ1 is the nearest-neighbor hopping parameter. b) The vectors b1 and b2 are the reciprocal lattice vectors. The points Γ, K(K0) and M are the center of 1BZ, the Dirac points and the middle of the 1BZ edges, respectively. . . . . . . . . . . . . 22

In the right figures, the splitting between the quasi-localized (QL) state peaks (for hydrogen adsorption) and dangling-bond (DB) states (for vacancy) shows the exchange splitting [8].
