In this thesis the effects of impurities and different defects on electrical and magnetic properties of monolayer and bilayer graphene is investigated. Calculations are performed using density function theory. Alloying monolayer graphene with boron and nitrogen the energy gaps of 0.7 and 0.6 eV are obtained, respectively. Moreover, we show that BN is a good candidate for opening the band gap in graphene. Alloying monolayer graphene with BN the energy gap of 1.2 eV is obtained. Another way of opening band gap is to somehow break the symmetry between layers of the bilayer graphene. By alloying one layers of bilayer graphene with B, N or B-N, although the symmetry of layers is broken, each...

Magnetization have an important role in spintronic devices based on graphene. In this study the effect of stone-wales and vacancy defect on electrical and magnetic properties of zigzag and armchair graphene nanoribbons were investigated. Calculations are performed using tight-binding and hubard model combining with Green's function techniques. When the balance between A and B sub-lattices gets disturbed, magnetization will be appeared. In stone-wales defect we have local magnetization because of changing the position of sub-lattices and the total magnetization is zero. In addition the stone-wales defect can change and modify the band structures and band gaps. Vacancy of carbon atom in...

In this thesis, we simulate and investigate two transistors which both have tunneling FET (TFET) structure but the channel in the first one is graphene nanoribbon (GNR) and in the second one is a monolayer of phosphorene (PML). To describe the quantum systems of the transistors, we use the tight binding method and its models for the channel materials. In case of the PML TFET, based on the behavior of the phosphorene nanoribbon in different widths, we obtain a proper amount for the width to model the infinite-width channel. To extract the channel quantum transport, the Schrodinger-Poisson equations are self-consistently solved. In the next step, we simulate the GNR TFET and present the...
