Abstract:Doping and adsorption of impurities affect the electronic properties of graphene. In this paper, using density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we present a comprehensive analysis of the effects of substitutional doping as well as atomic and diatomic adsorption on the electronic properties in graphene. Four elements, i.e., N, O, Be and B are considered. We find that (1) the substitutional doping with either of the four elements results in opening of the bandgap, and the bandgap increases with increase in … Show more
