Energy gap of Kronig-Penney-type hydrogenated graphene superlattices

The electronic structure of graphene-graphane superlattices with armchair interfaces is investigated with first-principles density-functional theory. By separately varying the widths, we find that the energy gap Eg is inversely proportional to the width of the graphene strip and that the gap increas...
