Electronic structure and optical properties of non-metallic modified graphene:a first-principles study

In this paper,the electronic structure and stability of the intrinsic,B-,N-,Si-,S-doped graphene are studied based on first-principles calculations of density functional theory.Firstly,the intrinsic,B-,N-,Si-,S-doped graphene structures are optimized,and then the forming energy,band structure,density of states,differential charge density are analyzed and calculated.The results show that Band Si-doped systems are p-type doping,while N is n-type doping.By comparing the forming energy,it is found that N atoms are more easily doped in graphene.In addition,for B-,N-,Si-doped systems,it is found that the doping atoms will open the band gap,leading to a great change in the band structure of the doping system.Finally,we systematically study the optical properties of the different configurations.By comparison,it is found that the order of light sensitivity in the visible region is as follows:S-doped>Si-doped>pure>B-doped>N-doped.Our results will provide theoretical guidance for the stability and electronic structure of non-metallic doped graphene.
