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.

Chemically induced mobility gaps in graphene nanoribbons: a route for upscaling device performances.

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...
