▎ 摘 要
Electronic and structural features of uranium-doped models of graphene (UG) were investigated in this work by employing the density functional theory (DFT) approach. Three sizes of models were investigated based on the numbers of surrounding layers around the central U-doped region including UG1, UG2, and UG3. In this regard, stabilized structures were obtained and their electronic molecular orbital features were evaluated, accordingly. The results indicated that the stabilized structures could be obtained, in which their electronic features are indeed size-dependent. The conductivity feature was expected at a higher level for the UG3 model whereas that of the UG1 model was at a lower level. Energy levels of the highest occupied and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals (HOMO and LUMO) were indeed the evidence of such achievement for electronic conductivity features. As a consequence, the model size of UG could determine its electronic feature providing it for specified applications.
