AB-Initio Investigation Of Structural, Electronic, And Adsorption Properties Of Graphitic Carbon Nitride Sheet With Embedded Transition Metal Mn And Fe Atoms

At present, research interest in magnetic nanostructures are directed towards the search for suitable substrates for transition metal (TM) atoms embedment. The appropriate substrate is expected to preserve its intrinsic properties and that of bound TM atoms. Graphene and related surfaces with unifor...
