## Abstract

The effect due to doping by B, Si, N on the magneto-transport properties of graphene is investigated using the generalized tight-binding model in conjunction with the Kubo formula. The crucial electronic and transport properties are greatly diversified by the type of dopant and doping concentration. The contribution from the guest atoms may open a band gap, thereby giving rise to the rich Landau level energy spectra and consequently the unique quantum Hall conductivity. The Fermi energy-dependent quantum Hall effect appears as a step structure having both integer and half-integer plateaus. Doping leads to the occurrence of zero conductivity, unlike the plateau sequence for pristine graphene. The predicted dopant- and concentration-enriched quantum Hall effect for doped graphene should provide useful information for magneto-transport measurements and possible technological applications as well as metrology.
