Work function engineering and doping of graphene — •Burkhard Sachs1, Tim Wehling1, Alexander Lichtenstein1, and Mikhail Katsnelson2 — 11.

Realistic graphene samples are always subject to external perturbations, e.g., impurities, adsorbates or strains. We investigate doping effects on graphene originating from molecular adsorbates and strains by using density functional theory calculations. The impact of work function variations on real graphene devices is discussed and compared to other doping mechanisms, including chiral midgap states for monovalent adsorbates. Screening effects for adsorbate induced dipole moments are considered with the example of water molecules.
