Electronic Transport Properties of Atom Adsorption Graphene Nanoribbon Devices Based on Tight Binding Green's Function Method
Electron transport properties of four kinds of atoms H
F
O and OH to adsorb armchair graphene nanoribbons(AGNR)and zigzag graphene nanoribbons(ZGNR)device are studied by using the tight binding non equilibrium Green function method. The electronic structure of GNR is analyzed using the tight binding theory of π electron structure. The electronic interaction among adsorbed atoms and GNR carbon atoms is calculated based on the expansion shock theory. The current characteristics of GNR adsorbing atoms are calculated using the non equilibrium Green function. The results show that the adsorption of H atoms has the greatest impact on the AGNR device transport spectrum in four kinds of atoms and the adsorption of OH atoms increases 0.3 eV of band gap at an equilibrium state
and that the current from H atom adsorption is larger than that of the other atoms at a non equilibrium state
because H atom adsorption not only increases density of states near the bottom of the conduction band
but also introduces impurity energy level in the band gap directly. The current from H atoms in ZGNR is 1.5 times higher than that from AGNR and the current of H atomic adsorption in middle of GNR is higher than that of its edge. The results provide a theoretical basis for improving the sensitivity of graphene gas sensors and biosensors.
