Modulation of Dirac points and band-gaps in graphene via periodic fullerene adsorption

The structural, energetic and electronic properties of periodic graphene nanobud (PGNB) with small-diameter fullerenes (C20, C34, C42, and C60) adsorbed have been investigated by first-principles plane wave method. The bond-to-ring cycloaddition is found to be energetically most stable among various...
