Description
Summary:An Ab-initio study with density functional theory (DOS) based has carried for armchair and zigzag graphene. This study concern with the band gap and density of state (DOS) characters of those graphene for several form, namely triangle, cone, hexagonal shapes. The defects effects for these characters of each type is also presented. In addition, completing the results of the study, these characters for the mixed armchair and zigzag were also studied. From the bandgap calculation, the result of hexagonal zigzag graphene is the highest 0.55 eV, while the smallest state is owned by cone-shaped zigzag graphene along with the appearance of bandgap overlapping. Based on these results, it can be said that the calculated graphene is semimetal. In addition, the results of DOS calculations show that the calculated graphene system is non-magnetic with a small difference between spin up and spin down close to zero.
