Abstract

Using density functional theory, we present a comparative study of the electronic properties of BN-doped graphene monolayer, bilayer, trilayer, and multilayer systems. In addition, we address a superlattice of pristine and BN-doped graphene. Five doping concentrations between 12.5% and 75% are considered, for which we obtain band gaps from 0.02 eV to 2.43 eV. We show that the effective mass varies between 0.007 and 0.209 free electron masses, resembling a high mobility of the charge carriers.
