摘要
We have carried Out ab initio electronic structure Calculations on graphane (hydrogenated graphene) having single and double vacancy defects. Our analysis of the density of states reveals that Such vacancies induce the mid-gap states and modify the band gal). The induced states are due to the Unpaired electrons oil carbon atoms surrounding the vacancy Interestingly, the placement and the number of such states is found to be sensitive to the distance between the vacancies It turns out that Such vacancies also induce a local magnetic moment.
