Abstract

AbstractThe properties of the substitutional impurities of the second period of the periodic table incorporated into graphene were investigated. The Green's‐functions framework and the tight‐binding method without the effect of the lattice distortion were used. We discuss the possibility of the existence of well‐defined resonant states in the valence band or the conduction band in the vicinity of the Dirac point. We conclude that in the vicinity of the Dirac point there was a possibility of a coincidence of the Fermi energy levels with impurity resonances (i.e., the Fermi level is pinned to the impurity resonance level.)
