The two lines above Eq. (8) on page 6 should read as "and the lifetime of the 1952-keV level, τ = 11(3) fs [23], we obtain a partial width of. .. ." Equation (8) should read as γ = 2.69(88) × 10 −4 eV. (8) Equation (9) should read as b/Ac 1 = −8.9(1.2). (9) The paper has been corrected as of 3 April 2017. The text and equations are correct in the printed version of the journal.
Due to its properties, graphene is considered a revolutionary material for the future, and as a two-dimensional material it has received a lot of research attention over the last two decades. For graphene to be used in different technologies such as solar cells, much more work needs to be done to understand its properties and engineer its properties by combining it with other materials such as semiconductors. This research work reports computational investigation of the electronic and optical properties of Ti and Ru mono-doped and co-doped graphene. Geometry optimizations for the electronic and optical properties were performed by first-principles calculations based on density functional theory. Various supercells of graphene were modeled and optimized, and their properties were calculated. The results show that different graphene supercells have different electronic and optical properties. The energy bandgap of pure graphene is zero, and after doping with Ti and Ru it increases to 0.550 eV, and 0.786 eV, respectively. The co-doped graphene bandgap is 0.272 eV. The calculated optical properties showed that doping graphene with Ti and Ru shifts the absorption from the visible to the near-infrared region, and these results open possibilities of using doped graphene as a semiconductor material.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
