36. The bilayer effect in the cuprates has been examined by FLEX in T. Dahm, D. Manske, and L. Tewordt, Phys. Rev. B 54, 6640 (1996), which shows that the bilayer coupling suppresses superconductivity. In the present material, although the original lattice structure comprises a double honeycomb lattice, a single honeycomb lattice model suffices to reproduce the band structure near the Fermi level as opposed to the cuprates, so we concentrate on the effect of the three dimensionality in the single honeycomb lattice model. 10.1103/PhysRevB.54.6640
