Abstract

In this study, we investigate atomic and electronic structure of graphene with substitutional impurities such as boron or nitrogen atom using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. To investigate the effects of substitutional impurities in graphene, we consider a ($6{\times}6$) supercell of graphene in our calculations. For detailed electronic properties of graphene, we compare the energy band structure of B- or N-doped graphene with that of pristine graphene.
