Electronic interference in defected graphene: a DFT cluster approach

Pristine graphene is one of the most promising material because of its physical and chemical properties. Defects in graphene have delayed or inhibited many of its applications.

In our work, to tailor the interference properties of the defected graphene system, we engineered defects like: vacancies, substitutional defects, and foreign ad atoms. Electron densities and local density of states of pristine and defected graphene were calculated, and they will be presented.
