摘要:

采用基于\textit{first principles}密度泛函理论的电子结构方法和局域密度近似,研究了绝缘氧化物在其晶体形态下对单层和双层石墨烯能带结构的影响.我们考虑电介质氧化物SiO $_{2}$($α$ -石英)和Al $_{2}$ O $_{3}$(氧化铝或$α$ -蓝宝石),每个都具有两个表面终端。我们的研究表明,原子弛豫和由此产生的平衡分离在扰动石墨烯的线性能带结构中起着关键作用,而在特定方向上分裂晶体所产生的悬挂键所起的作用则不那么关键。我们还看到,随着第二个石墨烯层的添加,石英表面终端的狄拉克锥被恢复。氧化铝需要两层以上的石墨烯层来保持狄拉克锥。我们的研究结果是最好的半定量的共同无定形形式的氧化物考虑。然而,我们的结果是定量的结晶氧化物为基于石墨烯的电子器件提供了一个有趣的选择,特别是鉴于最近对具有结晶BN(六方BN)的石墨烯的实验,该实验发现与具有无定形BN的那些相比,传输特性有相当大的改善。

英文摘要:

We study the effects of insulating oxides in their crystalline forms on the energy band structure of monolayer and bilayer graphene using a \textit{first principles} density functional theory based electronic structure method and a local density approximation. We consider the dielectric oxides, SiO$_{2}$ ($α$-quartz) and Al$_{2}$O$_{3}$ (alumina or $α$-sapphire) each with two surface terminations. Our study suggests that atomic relaxations and resulting equilibrium separations play a critical role in perturbing the linear band structure of graphene in contrast to the less critical role played by dangling bonds that result from cleaving the crystal in a particular direction. We also see that with the addition of a second graphene layer, the Dirac cone is restored for the quartz surface terminations. Alumina needs more than two graphene layers to preserve the Dirac cone. Our results are at best semi-quantitative for the common amorphous forms of the oxides considered. However, crystalline oxides for which our results are quantitative provide an interesting option for graphene based electronics, particularly in light of recent experiments on graphene with crystalline dielectrics (hexagonal BN) that find considerable improvements in transport properties as compared to the those with amorphous dielectrics.
