Studying the electronic properties of SiO2/GO/Pb3O4/Bi2O3 composite structure by Taha M. Tiama, Nayera M. El-Sayed, Nabil S. Abdelaziz, Ahmed M. Bayoumy, Hanan Elhaes, Medhat A. Ibrahim

“…Additionally, the interaction between 3SiO2/GO/Pb3O4/Bi2O3 “complex” structure and Glu exhibits the highest ionization potential, electron affinity, and electronegativity. The plotted DOS curves of the interaction between the proposed composite structure (both weak and complex forms) and the target analyte reveal that the unoccupied states begin to emerge slightly below − 4.0 eV and − 5.0 eV, then extend towards 0.0 eV, indicating potential excitation energies for electrons. …”
