24. We have limited our discussion to the case of enhancement of the magnitude of hopping. One difference is that when the hopping is reduced the Dirac points move in the opposite direction away from the M point, which can be shown by making additional band plots along a different path. However, the main reason to choose enhancement over reduction, is that in the latter the hopping vanishes before the Dirac points can merge and, therefore, this critical region cannot be reached. In real experiments, of course, there are even more severe limitations on how much strain can change the hoppings.
