To find the dispersion relation for nanobelt energy, we used the strongly coupled electron method, the one-dimensional subband method for "cutting off" the necessary energy lines and the method of adding subbands. The study shows the results of using the technique for single-layer graphene nanobelts of the "chair" type and "zigzag" type with different initial base vectors.
