where a and [beta] refer to the A or B subsites inside the Bravais lattice unit cells (Figure 1) in each plane of the system, i and j denote the position of the Bravais unit cell in the lattice, p and q describe planes indexes, [N.sub.c] shows the number of the Bravais lattice unit cell, [N.sub.p] implies the number of the layers, [t.sup.[alpha][beta].sub.ipjq] Presents the amplitude for a [pi] electron to hop from the subsite a of the Bravais lattice site i in plane p to the subsite [beta] of the nearest-neighbor (NN) site j in plane q, and [c.sup.[alpha][dagger].sub.ip] ([c.sup.[beta].sub.jq]) displays the creation (annihilation) operator of an electron on subsite [alpha] ([beta]) of the Bravais lattice site i (j) in plane p (q).
