dc.descriptionThe effect of the SiO$_2$ substrate on a graphene film is investigated using realistic but computationally convenient energy-optimized models of the substrate supporting a layer of graphene. The electronic bands are calculated using density-functional methods for several model substrates. This provides an estimate of the substrate-charge effects on the behaviour of the bands near $E_F$, as well as a variation of the equilibrium distance of the graphene sheet. A model of a wavy graphene layer is examined as a possible candidate for understanding the nature of the minimally conducting states in graphene.
