Average density of states in disordered graphene systems

Abstract

In this paper, the average density of states (ADOS) with a binary alloy disorder in disordered graphene systems are calculated based on the recursion method. We observe an obvious resonant peak caused by interactions with surrounding impurities and an anti-resonance dip in ADOS curves near the Dirac point. We also find that the resonance energy (Er) and the dip position (ε dip ) are sensitive to the concentration of disorders (x) and their on-site potentials (v). An linear relation, ε dip =xv, not only holds when the impurity concentration is low but this relation can be further extended to high impurity concentration regime with certain constraints. We also calculate the ADOS with a finite density of vacancies and compare our results with the previous theoretical results.

Electronic and Vibrational Properties of Adsorbed and Embedded Graphene and Bigraphene with Defects

“…The presence of the substrate greatly increases the possibility to introduce various defects into graphene. For example, in the graphene deposited on silicon, vacancies can occur [13,14], whereas in graphite (a set of weakly interacting graphene monolayers) vacancies heal and form a stacking fault with local fivefold symmetry axis [15]. Impurity atoms embedded in graphene may lead to the appearance of impurity states outside the band of quasi-continuous spectrum.…”

“…The changes of the ADOS near the charge neutrality point (NP) still remain ambiguous and under debate3456789. One of the theoretical predictions on disordered graphene suggested that the ADOS followed a power law, i.e.…”

Thinnest Two‐Dimensional Nanomaterial—Graphene for Solar Energy

“…Furthermore, abundant carbons in radical form may also inhibit the loss of carbon atoms from the frameworks during the heat treatment to remove oxygen-containing groups. [102] The stability of the electrode is important for solar cells. Zhao et al demonstrated the excellent stability of solar cells with graphene electrodes.…”
