Electrical properties of covalently functionalized graphene

We have employed first-principle calculations to study transformation of graphene’s electronic structure under functionalization by covalent bonds with di erent atomic and molecular groups - epoxies, amines, PFPA. It is shown that this functionalization leads to an opening in the graphene’s band gap...
