| Abstract: | The tight-binding model including spin–orbit coupling is used to study electronic and optical properties of armchair silicene nanoribbons (ASiNRs) in electric fields. Perpendicular electric field monotonically increases band-gap, the DOS, and absorption frequency and strength. It does not change spin-degeneracy, edge-states, and optical selection rule. However, parallel electric field strongly modulates energy dispersions resulting in oscillatory band-gaps, shift in edge-states, and destruction of spin-degeneracy. It induces more transition channels and constructs new selection rules that exhibits richer optical spectra. Modulations of electronic and optical properties of ASiNRs have strong dependence on the direction of electric field and nanoribbon's geometry. |
