The two models are compared on the basis of various calculated structural parameters and electronic properties. Electronic density of states (DOS) spectra are also plotted to see the changes in the electronic properties on increasing the size. No major changes are observed in the structural and electronic properties as one move from the smaller model to the higher one. It is found that doping maintains the planarity of the surface but induces comparatively large changes in the bond lengths around the doped atom, weakening the bonds. Copyright © VBRI Press.}, keywords = {DFT,Graphene,doping,DOS}, url = {https://aml.iaamonline.org/article_13877.html}, eprint = {https://aml.iaamonline.org/article_13877_e25d8cf9da4dba43bd3c492201ca90ba.pdf} }
