▎ 摘  要

High sensitivity and selectivity is desired in sensing devices. The aim of this study is to investigate the use of the ion bombardment process in creating a defect on graphene nanoribbons (GNR), which significantly affects sensing properties, in particular adsorption energy, charge transfer and sensitivity. A process has been developed to form the defect on the GNR surface using molecular dynamic (MD) with a reactive force field with nitrogen ion. The sensing properties were calculated using the extended Huckel theory when oxygen (O-2) and ammonia (NH3) molecules are exposed to different areas on the defective site. Through simulation, it was found that the ion bombardment process formed various types of defects on the GNR surface. Most notably, molecules adsorbed on the ripple area considerably improve the sensitivity by more than 50%. This indicates that the defect on the armchair graphene nanoribbon (AGNR) surface can be a method to enhance graphene-based sensing performance.
