Abstract:The attractive interactions between Boron, B, and Nitrogen, N, codoped atoms in graphene nanosheets are calculated based on Density Functional Theory, DFT, using Quantum Espresso software, QE. We realized that the electron density distribution is strongly localized along B-N bonds when there is a strong attractive force between the dopant's atoms; however, when there is a lesser attractive force, the electrons are delocalized over the B-N bond of the hexagonal graphene ring. The molecular dynamic simulation is… Show more
