Due to its zero-gap electronic stmcture, large graphene sheets are not suitable for FET applications [185, 193]. It has been shown that graphene transistors conduct current even at the point of expected isolator behavior (i.e., Dirac point) [288]. Therefore, current modulation cannot be achieved using macroscopic graphene sheets [185]. In order to have a band gap on graphene, the use of narrow ribbons of...

Table I presents the geometrical optimization results and corresponding binding energies of the different free and adsorbed on graphene H2-Pd structures. The most stable free system is I, while the second maximum corresponds to the structure III. The nearly linear IV state has a considerable lower energy, so it is extremely unstable. Similar geometrical parameters and energies have been found by Efremenko et al. using the DFT program Gaussian94 [10].
