Charge transport in chemically doped 2D graphene.

چکیده
We report on a numerical study of electronic transport in chemically doped 2D graphene materials. By using ab initio calculations, a self-consistent scattering potential is derived for boron and nitrogen substitutions, and a fully quantum-mechanical Kubo-Greenwood approach is used to evaluate the resulting charge mobilities and conductivities of systems with impurity concentration ranging within [0.5, 4.0]%. Even for a doping concentration as large as 4.0%, the conduction is marginally affected by quantum interference effects, preserving therefore remarkable transport properties, even down to the zero temperature limit. As a result of the chemical doping, electron-hole mobilities and conductivities are shown to become asymmetric with respect to the Dirac point.

We report a first-principles based study of mesoscopic quantum transport in chemically doped graphene nanoribbons with a width up to 10 nm. The occurrence of quasi-bound states related to boron impurities results in mobility gaps as large as 1 eV, driven by strong electron-hole asymmetrical backscattering phenomena. This phenomenon opens new ways to overcome current limitations of graphene-base...

The recent discovery of graphene (Novoselov et al., 2004), a single atomic sheet of graphite, has ignited intense research activities to explore the electronic properties of this novel twodimensional (2D) electronic system. Charge transport in graphene differs from that in conventional 2D electronic systems as a consequence of the conical energy dispersion relation near the charge neutrality (D...
