Abstract: | The boron nitride (BN) nanosheet is an isostructural analog of graphene and can be viewed as the structure that C atoms in graphene are replaced with alternating B and N. The easily modulated band-gap of BN nanosheet by simply passivating its edge(s) makes it is promising for many potential applications in nanodevices and nanoelectronics. We further systematically theoretically study the magnetic and electronic properties of passivated-ZBNNR by nonmetallic atom(s), here. According to our calculations, all considered structures show magnetic feature, and the ZBNNRs can be metal or half-metal or semiconductor depending on the termination details. The great application-potential of the passivated-ZBNNRs is further confirmed based on our results. |
