研究目的
To study the effect of Au2Cl6 doping on the stability and work function of graphene, specifically comparing interlayer and surface doping methods to address the poor stability of surface-doped p-type graphene.
研究成果
Interlayer doping of Au2Cl6 in bilayer graphene significantly increases work function and provides better stability compared to surface doping, making it a promising method for preparing p-type graphene. The enhanced stability is attributed to closer distances and stronger interactions between Au2Cl6 and graphene layers, as supported by formation energy and DOS analyses.
研究不足
The theoretical work function values are slightly lower than experimental values due to the choice of exchange-correlation functional in DFT, which may affect quantitative accuracy but not qualitative analysis. The study is computational and lacks experimental validation; practical application aspects such as synthesis and environmental stability are not addressed.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study uses first-principles calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) with the CASTEP software package. The PBE functional under Generalized Gradient Approximation (GGA) is employed for electron-exchange interaction, and Ultrasoft Pseudopotentials describe ion-electron interactions. A 5×5×1 supercell with AB-type stacking for bilayer graphene is used, with a vacuum layer of
2：5 nm to prevent periodic interactions. Optimization criteria include maximum energy exchange less than 10^-5 eV and residual stress less than 03 eV/?. Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Models include intrinsic bilayer graphene, Au2Cl6 interlayer-doped bilayer graphene, Au2Cl6 surface-doped bilayer graphene, undoped monolayer graphene, and Au2Cl6 surface-doped monolayer graphene. The Au2Cl6 molecule is chosen as the dopant based on its stability and p-type doping properties.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Computational software CASTEP is used; no physical equipment is mentioned. Materials include graphene and Au2Cl6 molecules.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Structures are optimized using DFT calculations. Work functions are calculated after optimization. Charge density diagrams, formation energy calculations, and density of states (DOS) analysis are performed to assess stability and electronic properties.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Formation energy is calculated using Ef = Etot - (Epure + EAu2Cl6). Work function is derived from electrostatic potential. Charge transfer is analyzed via Milliken analysis. DOS plots are generated to examine electronic interactions.
