For a brick-wall-like lattice topologically equivalent to the graphene lattice, a simple structural model of a zigzag edge decorated with particles is constructed. Analytical expressions for the energy band spectrum, densities of states, and occupation numbers of the graphene–particles system are derived for a system in the free state and for a system formed on a metal substrate.
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.
