摘要:

测量电子通过石墨烯片的传输必然涉及将其与金属电极接触。采用密度泛函理论的第一性原理计算研究了石墨烯在金属基底上的吸附。石墨烯与Al、Ag、Cu、Au和Pt(111)表面的键合非常弱,以至于其独特的“超相对论”电子结构得以保留。然而,这种相互作用确实会导致电荷转移,使费米能级相对于圆锥点移动高达0.5 eV。从p型到n型掺杂的交叉发生在功函数为~ 5.4eV的金属上,该值远大于自支撑石墨烯的功函数4.5eV。我们开发了一个简单的分析模型,该模型描述了金属衬底功函数方面的费米能级移动的石墨烯。石墨烯与Co、Ni、Pd和Ti相互作用并更强地结合。这种化学吸附涉及石墨烯$p_z$ -态和金属d-态之间的杂化,其在石墨烯中打开带隙。因此,石墨烯功函数显著降低。在平面内电流器件几何形状中,这应该导致石墨烯的n型掺杂。

英文摘要:

Measuring the transport of electrons through a graphene sheet necessarily involves contacting it with metal electrodes. We study the adsorption of graphene on metal substrates using first-principles calculations at the level of density functional theory. The bonding of graphene to Al, Ag, Cu, Au and Pt(111) surfaces is so weak that its unique "ultrarelativistic" electronic structure is preserved. The interaction does, however, lead to a charge transfer that shifts the Fermi level by up to 0.5 eV with respect to the conical points. The crossover from p-type to n-type doping occurs for a metal with a work function ~5.4 eV, a value much larger than the work function of free-standing graphene, 4.5 eV. We develop a simple analytical model that describes the Fermi level shift in graphene in terms of the metal substrate work function. Graphene interacts with and binds more strongly to Co, Ni, Pd and Ti. This chemisorption involves hybridization between graphene $p_z$-states and metal d-states that opens a band gap in graphene. The graphene work function is as a result reduced considerably. In a current-in-plane device geometry this should lead to n-type doping of graphene.
