Optical properties of graphene antidot lattices
arXiv:0806.0277 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.77.245431
Abstract
Undoped graphene is semi-metallic and thus not suitable for many electronic and optoelectronic applications requiring gapped semiconductor materials. However, a periodic array of holes (antidot lattice) renders graphene semiconducting with a controllable band gap. Using atomistic modelling, we demonstrate that this artificial nanomaterial is a dipole-allowed direct gap semiconductor with a very pronounced optical absorption edge. Hence, optical infrared spectroscopy should be an ideal probe of the electronic structure. To address realistic experimental situations, we include effects due to disorder and the presence of a substrate in the analysis.
