▎ 摘  要

Using calculations from first principles we show how specific interface modifications can lead to a fine-tuning of the doping and band alignment in epitaxial graphene on SiC. Upon different choices of dopants, we demonstrate that one can achieve a variation of the valence band offset between the graphene Dirac point and the valence band edge of SiC up to 1.5 eV. Finally, via appropriate magnetic doping one can induce a half-metallic behavior in the first graphene monolayer. These results clearly establish the potential for graphene utilization in innovative electronic and spintronic devices.
