Abstrakt: In this work, we study the impact of the external electric field (E ext ) on graphene oxide (GO) layer to improve and optimize its electronic and optical properties, as a result to enhance optoelectronic device technology applications. A three-dimensional E ext applied on GO will be examined using the density functional theory (DFT). The E ext causes significant modifications to the electronic and optical properties of GO. When increasing the E ext , a global increase is noted in the bandgap in the x- and y-directions. As for the z-direction, the bandgap energy of GO decreases for an increasing E ext . The absorption coefficient (α) peaks intensities decreased in both visible and ultraviolet (UV) ranges by the effect of the E ext applied in the x-direction, and were increased when the E ext is applied in the y- and z-directions. It was found that, the electronic and optical properties of GO material, could be controlled by the effects of the E ext and by its direction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
