Three halogen elements, fluorine （F）, chlorine （C1） and bromine （Br）, are considered, and the graphane-like structures are named as CF, CC1 and CBr, respectively. It is found that for the single-atom adsorption, only the F adatom can be chemically adsorbed on the graphene. However, the stable graphane-like structures of CF, CC1 and CBr can form due to the interaction between the halogen atoms. The carbon atoms in the stable CF, CC1 and CBr compounds are in the sp3 hybridization, forming a hexagonal network similar to the graphane. The electronic band calculations show that CF and CC1 are semiconductors with band gaps of 3.28 eV and 1.66 eV, respectively, while CBr is a metal. Moreover, the molecular dynamics simulation is employed to clarify the stabilities of CF and CC1. Those two compounds are stable at room temperature. A high temperature （：〉 1200 K） is needed to damage CF, while CC1 is destroyed at 700 K. Furthermore, the effects of a vacancy on the structure and the electronic property of CF are discussed.展开更多

We present Density Functional Tight Binding(DFTB) calculations of a field-effect device,based on lateral and vertical heterostructures of 2D materials. The device consists of a phosphorene channel protected by graphene sheets, which work as contacts and are divided into the source and drain by local hydrogenation of graphene, which gives insulating graphane. In this device composed of only 3 layers, single sheets of graphene-graphane can work as both leads and oxide gate, while also acting as protective layers for a phosphorene channel. We show how for perfect vd W heterostructures of graphane/phosphorene/graphane and graphene/phosphorene/graphene the Schottky barrier is deeply influenced by normal electric fields, and we characterize electronic transport of such a device. Finally, we characterize phosphorene channel doping and defects, which, at very high densities in the transport direction, enables transport inside the phosphorene bandgap.展开更多
