▎ 摘  要

Motivated by experiments confirming that the optical transparency of graphene is defined through the fine structure constant and that it could be fully explained within the relativistic Dirac fermions in a two-dimensional picture, we investigate in this article how this property is affected by next-to-nearest-neighbor coupling in the low-energy continuum description of graphene. A detailed calculation within the linear response regime allows us to conclude that, somewhat surprisingly, the optical conductivity at zero temperature that determines the transparency remains robust up to this correction.
