We demonstrate that the spectrum rearrangement can be considered as a precursor of the metal-insulator transition observed in graphene dosed with hydrogen atoms. The Anderson-type transition is attributed to the coincidence between the…
In this paper, we apply the first-principle theory to explore how the electronic structures of armchair graphene nanoribbons (AGNRs) are affected by chemical modifications. The edge addends include H, F, N, NH$_{2}$, and NO$_{2}$. Our…
In order to manipulate the properties of graphene, its very important to understand the electronic structure in presence of disorder. We investigate, within a tight-binding description, the effects of disorder in the on-site (diagonal…
