▎ 摘  要

We re-investigate the effect of random bond disorder on the density of states (DOS) in graphene. Our large-scale calculation supports that there exists a critical disorder value g(b)(c) dividing the DOS into two distinct structures. In the regime g(b) < g(b)(c) (g(b) is randomness of bond disorder), the DOS away from the Dirac point behaves like a power-law with positive exponent (alpha > 0): rho(E) similar to rho(1)vertical bar E vertical bar(alpha) (E is Fermi energy with respect to the Dirac point, pi is a constant). In the regime g(b) > g(b)(c), it is observed that DOS develops a peak structure at the Dirac point E = 0. Through the finite-size scaling analysis, we elucidate that the DOS at the Dirac point diverges in the thermodynamics limit. Furthermore, it is found that the divergent behavior of DOS is sensitive to any on-site disorder which violates the chiral symmetry in graphene. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
