掺杂菱形BN片的石墨烯纳米带的电子特性

采用基于密度泛函理论的第一性原理方法,系统研究掺杂菱形BN片的石墨烯纳米带的电子特性.掺杂使扶手椅型石墨烯纳米带（AGNRs）的带隙增大,不同位置掺杂AGNRs的带隙大小略有差异.在无磁性态,无论是否掺杂,锯齿型石墨烯纳米带（ZGNRs）都为金属.在铁磁态,掺杂使ZGNRs由金属转变为半导体.而处于反铁磁态时,无论是否掺杂,ZGNRs都为半导体,掺杂使其带隙发生改变.掺杂的AGNRs和ZGNRs的结构稳定,掺杂ZGNRs的基态为反铁磁态.掺杂菱形BN片可以有效调控GNRs的电子特性.     

铂掺杂扶手椅型石墨烯纳米带的电学特性研究

本文采用基于密度泛函理论(DFT)的第一性原理计算了铂原子填充扶手椅型石墨烯纳米带(AGNR)中双空位结构的电学性能.计算结果表明: 通过控制铂原子的掺杂位置, 可以实现纳米带循环经历小带隙半导体—金属—大带隙半导体的相变过程; 纳米带边缘位置是铂原子掺杂的最稳定位置, 边缘掺杂纳米带的带隙值随宽度的变化与本征AGNR一样可用三簇曲线表示, 但在较大宽度时简并成两条曲线, 一定程度上抑制了带隙值的振荡; 并且铂原子边缘掺杂导致宽度系数N_a = 3p和3p + 1(p是一个整数)的几个较窄纳米带的带隙中出现杂质能级, 有效地降低了其过大的带隙值. 此外, 铂掺杂AGNR的能带结构对掺杂浓度不是很敏感, 从而降低了对实验精度的挑战. 本文的计算有利于推动石墨烯纳米带在纳米电子学方面的应用.

Electronic structures for armchair-edge graphene nanoribbons under a small uniaxial strain

We theoretically investigate the electronic structures for armchair-edge graphene nanoribbons (AGNRs) under a small in-plane uniaxial strain along armchair (longitudinal) and zigzag (transversal) direction, respectively. We demonstrate that, by both the tight-binding calculation and first-principles study, the applying of a small asymmetrical strain results in variation of energy subband spacing, which opens a band gap for metallic AGNRs and modifies the band gaps for semiconducting AGNRs near the Fermi level. It is believed that these results are of importance in the band gap engineering and electromechanical applications of graphene-nanoribbon-based devices.

Effect of Chemical Doping on the Electronic Transport Properties of Tailoring Graphene Nanoribbons

The electronic transport properties of a molecular junction based on doping tailoring armchair-type graphene nanoribbons(AGNRs)with different widths are investigated by applying the non-equilibrium Green's function formalism combined with first-principles density functional theory.The calculated results show that the width and doping play significant roles in the electronic transport properties of the molecular junction.A higher current can be obtained for the molecular junctions with the tailoring AGNRs with W=11.Furthermore,the current of boron-doped tailoring AGNRs with widths W=7 is nearly four times larger than that of the undoped one,which can be potentially useful for the design of high performance electronic devices.     

石墨烯纳米带卷曲效应对其电子特性的影响

石墨烯纳米带 (GNRs) 是一种重要的纳米材料, 碳纳米管可看作是GNRs卷曲而成的无缝圆筒. 利用基于密度泛函理论的第一性原理方法, 系统研究了GNRs卷曲变形到不同几何构型时, 其电子特性, 包括能带结构 (特别是带隙) 、态密度、透射谱的变化规律. 结果表明: 无论是锯齿型GNRs (ZGNRs) 或扶手椅型GNRs (AGNRs), 在其卷曲成管之前, 其电子特性对卷曲形变均不敏感, 这意味着GNRs的电子结构及输运特性有较强地抵抗卷曲变形的能力. 当GNRs 卷曲成管后, ZGNRs和AGNRs表现出完全不同的性质, ZGNRs几乎保持金属性不变或变为准金属; 但AGNRs的电子特性有较大的变化, 出现不同带隙半导体、准金属之间的转变, 这也许密切关系到碳纳米管管口周长方向上的周期性边界条件及量子禁锢的改变. 这些研究对于了解GNRs电子特性的卷曲效应、以及GNRs与碳纳米管电子特性的关系 (结构与特性的关系) 有重要意义. 关键词： 石墨烯纳米带 卷曲效应 电子特性 密度泛函理论     

Electronic structures of doped BaFe<Subscript>2</Subscript>As<Subscript>2</Subscript> materials: virtual crystal approximation versus super-cell approach

Using virtual crystal approximation and super-cell methods for doping, a detailedcomparative study of electronic structures of various doped BaFe₂As₂ materials by first principlessimulations is presented. Electronic structures remain unaltered for both the methods incase of passive site doping but in case of active site doping, the electronic structurefor virtual crystal approximation method differ from that of the super-cell methodspecially in the higher doping concentrations. For example, both of these methods giverise to a similar density of states and band structures in case of hole doping (replacingK in place of Ba) and isovalent P doping on As site. But in case of electron doped (Co inplace of Fe) systems with higher doping concentration, electronic structures calculatedusing virtual crystal approximation approach deviates from that of the super-cell method.On the other hand, in case of low isovalent Ru doping at the Fe site implemented byvirtual crystal approximation, one acquires an extra shift in the chemical potential incomparison to that for the super-cell method. This shift may be utilized to predict thecorrect electronic structure as well as the calculated Fermi surfaces within virtualcrystal approximation. But for higher Ru (that has different electronic configuration thanFe) doping concentration, simple shifting of chemical potential fails, the calculatedelectronic structure via virtual crystal approximation approach is very different fromthat by the super-cell formalism.

Interactions of Fe atom with single wall armchair SiC nanotubes: an ab initio study

A systematic study of Fe atom encapsulation and adsorption in armchair SiC nanotubes (SiCNT) with diameters in the range of 5.313 to 10.582 Å has been performed using hybrid density functional theory and a finite cluster approximation. A detailed comparison of the binding energies, equilibrium positions, Mulliken charges, and spin magnetic moments of Fe atoms has been performed for three types of nanotubes. The electronic states, HOMO–LUMO gaps, and changes in gaps with respect to the bare nanotube gaps have been investigated as well. Our results show that the properties of SiCNT can be modified by Fe atom encapsulation and adsorption. Binding energies of the encapsulated and adsorbed systems indicate that these structures are stable and show site dependence. For both cases a significant band gap decrease is observed for type 1 nanotubes enabling band gap tailoring. This decrease is not observed for the other two types with a larger diameter. All structures are found to have magnetic ground states with high magnetic moments indicating the possibility of them being used in spintronics applications.     

Electronic properties of BN-doped bilayer graphene and graphyne in the presence of electric field

In the present paper, we have used density functional theory to study electronic properties of bilayer graphene and graphyne doped with B and N impurities in the presence of electric field. It has been demonstrated that a band gap is opened in the band structures of the bilayer graphene and graphyne by B and N doping. We have also investigated influence of electric field on the electronic properties of BN-doped bilayer graphene and graphyne. It is found that the band gaps induced by B and N impurities are increased by applying electric field. Our results reveal that doping with B and N, and applying electric field are an effective method to open and control a band gap which is useful to design carbon-based next-generation electronic devices.     

Effect of oxidation of graphene nanoribbons on electronic and magnetic properties

The electronic properties, band gap and ionization potential as well as the energies of the singlet and triplet states of zigzag and armchair graphene nanoribbons are calculated as a function of the number of oxygen atoms on the ribbon employing density functional theory at B3LYP/6-31G* level. The calculated band gaps indicate that both structures are semiconducting. The band gap of the armchair ribbons initially decreases followed by an increase with oxygen number. For zigzag ribbons the band gap decreases with increasing oxygen number whereas the ionization potential increases with oxygen content. In both armchair and zigzag ribbons the ionization potential shows a gradual increase with the number of oxygen atoms. Some of the oxygenated ribbons calculated have triplet ground states and have the density of states at the Fermi level for spin down greater than spin up suggesting the possibility they may be ferromagnetic semiconductors.

Structural and electronic properties of the TiC nanotubes: Density functional-based tight binding calculations

Atomic models of the hypothetical single- and multi-walled cylindrical- and prismatic-like TiC nanotubes have been constructed and their structural and electronic properties have been studied by means of density functional-based tight binding (DFTB) method. The electronic bands, densities of states and binding energies are analyzed as a function of the TiC tubes sizes. Our calculations showed that TiC nanotubes are semiconducting, in contrary to the metallic-like crystalline TiC, and the band gaps tend to vanish as the number of tube walls increase.     

Electronic properties of zero-dimensional finite-sized nanographene

In this work, we use the tight-binding model to study the low-energy electronic properties of zero-dimensional finite-sized nanographene subject to the influence of an electric field. State energies and energy spacings are found to oscillate significantly with the field strength. The state energies and band gaps also rely upon the type of the nanographene. The electric field will modify state energies, alter energy gaps, and induce the complete energy gap modulations. The band gap of the type-IV nanographene is always zero regardless of the value of the field strength. The variations of the state energies will be directly reflected in the density of states. The numbers and frequencies of the density of states’ divergent peaks are strongly dependent on the field strength and the type of the nanographene. Finally, the electron wave functions are found to be localized at certain zigzag lines at zero electric field.

The surface energy, work function and stability have been calculated, which indicates SrO-terminated slab is more stable.
