| contents | This paper concerns the derivation and validity of macroscopic descriptions of wave packets supported in the vicinity of degenerate points $(K,E)$ in the dispersion relation of tight-binding models accounting for macroscopic variations. We show that such wave packets are well approximated over long times by macroscopic models with varying orders of accuracy. Our main applications are in the analysis of single- and multilayer graphene tight-binding Hamiltonians modeling macroscopic variations such as those generated by shear or twist. Numerical simulations illustrate the theoretical findings. |
