▎ 摘  要

In this work, electronic properties of bare and doped graphene layers in the presence of N, B and a type of defective impurities are investigated under adsorption of CO, NO, NH3 and NO2 molecules on it's external surface. We use a fully self-consistent density function theory (DFT) based calculations as implemented in SIESTA package. The local-density approximation (LDA) is considered for the exchange-correlation function. Total density of state (TDOS), partial density of state (PDOS) and charge density calculations are also considered to elucidate the difference in the CO, NO, NH3 and NO2 gases detection mechanism of pristine and doped graphene structures. With regard to that the charge transfer is occurring between the graphene sheet and gaseous molecules, the NO2 and NH3 molecules are considered as the recipient and donor of electrons, respectively. We show that the states contributed by the adsorbed CO and NO molecules are quite localized near the center of original band gap and they suggest that the charge transport in such systems cannot be enhanced considerably, while NO2 and NH3 molecules adsorption acts as the acceptor and donor, respectively. Our results can serve as a base for developments in designing nano electronic devices. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
