Insulator to Semimetal Transition in Graphene Oxide
Transport properties of progressively reduced graphene oxide (GO) are described. Evolution of the electronic properties reveals that as-synthesized GO undergoes insulator-semiconductor-semimetal transitions with reduction. The apparent transport gap ranges from 10 to 50 meV and approaches zero with extensive reduction. Measurements at varying degrees of reduction reveal that transport in reduce...
متن کاملMonte Carlo study of the semimetal-insulator phase transition in monolayer graphene with a realistic interelectron interaction potential.
We report on the results of the first-principles numerical study of spontaneous breaking of chiral (sublattice) symmetry in suspended monolayer graphene due to electrostatic interaction, which takes into account the screening of Coulomb potential by electrons on σ orbitals. In contrast to the results of previous numerical simulations with unscreened potential, we find that suspended graphene is...
متن کاملSymmetry induced semimetal-semiconductor transition in doped graphene
Substitutional chemical doping is one way of introducing an electronic bandgap in otherwise semimetallic graphene. A small change in dopant arrangement can convert graphene from a semiconducting to a semimetallic state. Based on ab initio Density Functional Theory calculations, we discuss the electron structure of BN-doped graphene with Bravais and non-Bravais lattice-type defect patterns, iden...
متن کاملMetal-Insulator Transition from Graphene to Graphane
Graphane is obtained by perfectly hydrogenating graphene. There exists an intermediate material, partially hydrogenated graphene (which we call hydrographene), interpolating from pure graphene to pure graphane. Employing a graph theoretical approach to the site-percolation model, we present an intuitive and physical picture revealing a percolation transition from graphene to graphane. It is dem...
متن کاملAlloy Engineering of Topological Semimetal Phase Transition in MgTa2−xNbxN3
Dirac, triple-point, andWeyl fermions represent three topological semimetal phases, characterized with a descending degree of band degeneracy, which have been realized separately in specific crystalline materials with different lattice symmetries. Here we demonstrate an alloy engineering approach to realize all three types of fermions in one single material system of MgTa2−xNbxN3. Based on symm...
