Van der Waals density functional studies of hydrogenated and lithiated bilayer graphene

In this thesis, we use rst principles density functional theory (DFT) to study the energetics, structural and electronic properties of hydrogenated and lithiated bilayer graphene material systems. The newly developed four variants of the non-local van der Waals (vdW) exchange-correlation functio...
