Abstract
We distinguish three mechanisms of doping graphene. Density functional theory is used to show that electronegative molecules like tetrafluoroโtetracyanoquinodimethane (F4โTCNQ) and electropositive metals like K dope graphene pโ and nโ type, respectively. These dopants are expected to lead to a decrease in carrier mobility arising from Coulomb scattering but without any hysteresis effects. Secondly, a novel doping mechanism is exhibited by Au which dopes bilayer graphene but not single layer. Thirdly, electrochemical doping is effected by redox reactions and can result in pโdoping by humid atmospheres and nโdoping by NH~3~ and toluene.

## Abstract Density functional theory is used to show that charge transfer occurs between chemical dopants in GaAs and adsorbates composed of C~60~ and graphene lying on the (110) surface of GaAs. In the case of C~60~, charge transfer only occurs for nโtype GaAs in agreement with previous experimen
## Abstract It has been commonly thought that diamond is unique in its class in that it can undergo pโtype transfer doping when covered by a thin layer of electrolyte. In this study, densityโfunctional theory has been used to show that the work functions of graphite and graphene are low enough for
