plotting - Why is Plot3D giving me a surface with gaps?

I am trying to get plot for the band structure for graphene.

d = 10; (*Plot range*) 
coupling := {{0, 2 Cos[Sqrt[3]*(#1)/2]*Cos[#2/2] + Cos[#2] + 
I (2 Cos[Sqrt[3]*(#1)/2]*Sin[#2/2] - Sin[#2])}, 
{Conjugate[ 2 Cos[Sqrt[3]*(#1)/2]*Cos[#2/2] + Cos[#2] + 
   I (2 Cos[Sqrt[3]*(#1)/2]*Sin[#2/2] - Sin[#2])], 0}} &;
Plot3D[Eigenvalues[coupling[kx, ky]][[1]], {kx, -d, d}, {ky, -d, d}] (*Discontinuous*)

Plot3D[(Eigenvalues[coupling[kx, ky]][[1]])^2, {kx, -d, d}, {ky, -d, d}] (*Continuous*)

I am not able to understand why the surface in the first plot is coming out discontinuous; i.e., it has some gaps in the surface plot, whereas there are no gaps in the second plot, which simply plots the square of the function shown in the first plot.

There is no physics that explains the gaps. Also, the effect is not periodic/predictable. By that I mean that on changing d, I am getting very different patterns of gaps all over the place.

Is there some problem with my code or is 3D plot working incorrectly? How do I get rid of this error?

Edit

I am NOT talking about the spike at (0,0). I am attaching a picture of my plot for clarity. I am talking about the "ribbons" missing from the surface.

There are no "ribbons" in the case of the squared plot.

plotting - Filling between two spheres in SphericalPlot3D

Manipulate[ SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, Mesh -> None, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], {n, 0, 1}] I cant' seem to be able to make a filling between two spheres. I've already tried the obvious Filling -> {1 -> {2}} but Mathematica doesn't seem to like that option. Is there any easy way around this or ... Answer There is no built-in filling in SphericalPlot3D . One option is to use ParametricPlot3D to draw the surfaces between the two shells: Manipulate[ Show[SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], ParametricPlot3D[{ r {Sin[t] Cos[1.5 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[1.5 Pi], Cos[t]}, r {Sin[t] Cos[0 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[0 Pi], Cos[t]}}, {r, 1, 2 - n}, {t, 0, Pi}, PlotStyle -> Yellow, Mesh -> {2, 15}]], {n, 0, 1}]

plotting - Plot 4D data with color as 4th dimension

I have a list of 4D data (x position, y position, amplitude, wavelength). I want to plot x, y, and amplitude on a 3D plot and have the color of the points correspond to the wavelength. I have seen many examples using functions to define color but my wavelength cannot be expressed by an analytic function. Is there a simple way to do this? Answer Here a another possible way to visualize 4D data: data = Flatten[Table[{x, y, x^2 + y^2, Sin[x - y]}, {x, -Pi, Pi,Pi/10}, {y,-Pi,Pi, Pi/10}], 1]; You can use the function Point along with VertexColors . Now the points are places using the first three elements and the color is determined by the fourth. In this case I used Hue, but you can use whatever you prefer. Graphics3D[ Point[data[[All, 1 ;; 3]], VertexColors -> Hue /@ data[[All, 4]]], Axes -> True, BoxRatios -> {1, 1, 1/GoldenRatio}]

plotting - Mathematica: 3D plot based on combined 2D graphs

I have several sigmoidal fits to 3 different datasets, with mean fit predictions plus the 95% confidence limits (not symmetrical around the mean) and the actual data. I would now like to show these different 2D plots projected in 3D as in but then using proper perspective. In the link here they give some solutions to combine the plots using isometric perspective, but I would like to use proper 3 point perspective. Any thoughts? Also any way to show the mean points per time point for each series plus or minus the standard error on the mean would be cool too, either using points+vertical bars, or using spheres plus tubes. Below are some test data and the fit function I am using. Note that I am working on a logit(proportion) scale and that the final vertical scale is Log10(percentage). (* some test data *) data = Table[Null, {i, 4}]; data[[1]] = {{1, -5.8}, {2, -5.4}, {3, -0.8}, {4, -0.2}, {5, 4.6}, {1, -6.4}, {2, -5.6}, {3, -0.7}, {4, 0.04}, {5, 1.0}, {1, -6.8}, {2, -4.7}, {3, -1.
