Dear Sir,

                 I have two questions.

            (1)     I want to study the intralayer intrinsic spin-orbit 
coupling in bilayer graphene. For the monolayer case, it is easy to put the nnn 
hopping by,


                         sys[graphene.neighbors(2)] = spin_orbit


But for the bilayer case, as there are two planes and the intralayer coupling 
which I want to calculate should be in those two planes, Can I use the above 
code to get the effect. If not, then how can I put the effect in bilayer system.


(2) When I am calculating the Hamiltonian submatrix between two sites to see 
the full matrix without spin-orbit ( only for tight-binding in bilayer where 
t=1 and interlayer coupling ,t_prep= 0.2) it is showing


[[7.+0.j 0.+0.j 0.+0.j 0.+0.j]
 [0.+0.j 7.+0.j 0.+0.j 0.+0.j]
 [0.+0.j 0.+0.j 7.+0.j 0.+0.j]
 [0.+0.j 0.+0.j 0.+0.j 7.+0.j]]


where 7 is for onsite element  (sys[graphene.shape(rect, (0, 0, 0))] = 7 * 
sigma_0).


Thanks in advance.


sincerely,

Priyanka Sinha
