By doping magnetic Ce atoms on a single layer graphene, we report a new and efficient means of modifying structural and electronic properties of graphene that opens a temperature-dependent band gap of size up to 0.5 eV.
The conductivity and thermopower of a trilayer graphene based system have been studied within the framework of a simple model. It has been shown that kinks of the conductivity and peaks of the thermopower of the monolayer graphene formed on a tunable bilayer graphene appear near the edges of the band gap of the tunable bilayer graphene.
