We study by first-principles calculations a densely packed island of organic molecules (F_{4}TCNQ) adsorbed on graphene. We find that with electron doping the island naturally forms a p-n junction in the graphene sheet. For example, a doping level of ∼3×10^{13} electrons per cm^{2} results in a p-n junction with an 800 meV electrostatic potential barrier. Unlike in a conventional p-n junction in graphene, in the case of the junction formed by an adsorbed organic molecular island we expect that the Klein tunneling is inhibited, even without an applied external magnetic field. Here Klein tunneling is inhibited by the ferromagnetic order that spontaneously occurs in the molecular island upon doping. We estimate that the magnetic barrier in the graphene sheet is around 10 mT.
我们通过第一性原理计算研究了吸附在石墨烯上的紧密堆积有机分子(F₄TCNQ)岛。我们发现,随着电子掺杂,该岛在石墨烯片中自然形成一个p-n结。例如,每平方厘米约3×10¹³个电子的掺杂水平会导致形成一个具有800毫电子伏特静电势垒的p-n结。与石墨烯中的传统p-n结不同,在由吸附的有机分子岛形成的结的情况下,即使没有施加外部磁场,我们预计克莱因隧穿也会受到抑制。在这里,克莱因隧穿受到掺杂后分子岛中自发出现的铁磁序的抑制。我们估计石墨烯片中的磁垒约为10毫特斯拉。
