The electronic transport properties of defected bilayer sliding armchair graphene nanoribbons

By applying non-equilibrium Green's functions (NEGF) in combination with tight-binding (TB) model, we investigate and compare the electronic transport properties of perfect and defected bilayer armchair graphene nanoribbons (BAGNRs) under finite bias. Two typical defects which are placed in the middle of top layer (i.e. single vacancy (SV) and stone wale (SW) defects) are examined. The results reveal that in both perfect and defected bilayers, the maximum current refers to β-AB, AA and α-AB stacking orders, respectively, since the intermolecular interactions are stronger in them. Moreover it is observed that a SV decreases the current in all stacking orders, but the effects of a SW defect is nearly unpredictable. Besides, we introduced a sequential switching behavior and the effects of defects on the switching performance is studied as well. We found that a SW defect can significantly improve the switching behavior of a bilayer system. Transmission spectrum, band structure, molecular energy spectrum and molecular projected self-consistent Hamiltonian (MPSH) are analyzed subsequently to understand the electronic transport properties of these bilayer devices which can be used in developing nano-scale bilayer systems.

氢修饰石墨烯纳米带压电性质的第一性原理研究

采用第一性原理计算方法, 系统研究了不同宽度、不同边缘修饰模式的间隔氢吸附锯齿型石墨烯纳米带的压电性质. 结构优化和结合能计算表明, 氢修饰石墨烯纳米带结构稳定. 氢原子间隔排列的吸附使得纳米带中的相邻碳原子成键及电荷状态不同, 导致拉伸时纳米带中六元碳环的正负电荷中心不再重合, 产生宏观电极化. 纳米带宽度越宽, 包含六元碳环数目越多, 则拉伸时纳米带长度方向上电偶极矩密度越大, 其压电性能越强. 另外, 边缘原子电荷状态决定了无拉伸时纳米带的初始电偶极矩密度, 其大小可以通过改变边缘氢原子的修饰模式来有效调控. 关键词： 石墨烯纳米带 第一性原理 修饰改性 压电性质

Spin filter properties of armchair graphene nanoribbons with substitutional Fe atoms

ABSTRACT

The spin filter capability of a (0,8) armchair graphene nanoribbon with Fe atoms at substitutional sites is investigated by density functional theory in combination with the non-equilibrium Green's function technique. For specific arrangements, a high degree of spin polarisation is achieved. These include a single substitution at an edge position or double substitution in the central sector of the transmission element. The possibility of switching between majority and minority spin polarisation by changing the double substitution geometry is predicted. Including the bias dependence of the transmission function proves to be essential for correct representation of the spin-resolved current-voltage profiles.     

Atomistic simulations of divacancy defects in armchair graphene nanoribbons: Stability,electronic structure,and electron transport properties

Using the first principles calculations associated with nonequilibrium Green?s function, we have studied the electronic structures and quantum transport properties of defective armchair graphene nanoribbon (AGNR) in the presence of divacancy defects. The triple pentagon–triple heptagon (555–777) defect in the defective AGNR is energetically more favorable than the pentagon–octagon–pentagon (5–8–5) defect. Our calculated results reveal that both 5–8–5-like defect and 555–777-like defect in AGNR could improve the electron transport. It is anticipated that defective AGNRs can exhibit large range variations in transport behaviors, which are strongly dependent on the distributions of the divacancy defect.

First principle study of edge topological defect-modulated electronic and magnetic properties in zigzag graphene nanoribbons

Zigzag graphene nanoribbon(ZGNR) is a promising candidate for next-generation spintronic devices. Development of the field requires potential systems with variable and adjustable electromagnetic properties. Here we show a detailed investigation of ZGNR decorated with edge topological defects(ED-ZGNR) synthesized in laboratory by Ruffieux in 2015[Pascal Ruffieux, Shiyong Wang, Bo Yang, et al. 2015 Nature 531 489]. The pristine ED-ZGNR in the ground state is an antiferromagnetic semiconductor, and the acquired band structure is significantly changed compared with that of perfect ZGNR. After doping heteroatoms on the edge, the breaking of degeneration of band structure makes the doped ribbon a half-semi-metal, and nonzero magnetic moments are induced. Our results indicate the tunable electronic and magnetic properties of ZGNR by deriving unique edge state from topological defect, which opens a new route to practical nano devices based on ZGNR.     

First-principles study on electronic and optical properties of Cu-doped LiF with Li vacancy

Taken into account the presences of Li vacancy (V_Li), we calculate the formation energy, electronic structure and optical properties of Cu doped LiF (LiF:Cu) by using the density functional theory. The presence of V_Li leads to a decrease of the formation energies of Cu, in favor of Cu doping into LiF. Due to Cu doping, an impurity band of Cu-3d states is formed at the Fermi level, which is then split by the introduction of V_Li. A wide absorption band and some new absorption peaks are obtained in LiF:Cu with an adjacent V_Li to Cu. There appears an absorption peak at 9.3 eV, which is consistent with the experiment observation (133 nm). The results are useful for understanding of the optical properties of the doped systems.     

Ab initio study of the electronic and transport properties of waved graphene nanoribbons

We apply the nonequilibrium Green's function method based on density functional theory to investigate the electronic and transport properties of waved zigzag and armchair graphene nanoribbons. Our calculations show that out-of-plane mechanical deformations have a strong influence on the band structures and transport characteristics of graphene nanoribbons. The computed I-V curves demonstrate that the electrical conductance of graphene nanoribbons is significantly affected by deformations. The relationship between the conductance and the compression ratio is found to be sensitive to the type of the nanoribbon. The results of our study indicate the possibility of mechanical control of the electronic and transport properties of graphene nanoribbons.

Tuning the electronic and magnetic properties of the Si nanoribbons through dangling bond

Combined with three spin configurations, the effects of the dangling bonds on the electronic and magnetic properties of both zigzag edge and armchair edge Si nanoribbions (ZSiNR and ASiNR) have been investigated systematically by the first-principles calculations in the local spin-density function theory. The dangling bonds at one edge or both edges make ZSiNR to transform from ferromagnetic state of the perfect ZSiNR to antiferromagnetic state. However, the dangling bonds at one edge and both edges make ASiNR to transform from nonmagnetic semiconductor of the perfect ASiNR to ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic metals, respectively. Furthermore, the magnetic moment of the ferromagnetic state increases for the perfect bare one edge and bare both edges successively for either ZSiNR or ASiNR.

Modulation of electronic structure properties of C/B/Al-doped armchair GaN nanoribbons

ABSTRACT

The electronic structures of C/B/Al-doped armchair GaN nanoribbons (aGaNNRs) are systematically studied by using density functional theory. We find that the original aGaNNRs are direct band gap semiconductors and that the gaps monotonically decrease with increasing widths. Interestingly, the B- or Al-doped aGaNNRs are also direct-band gap semiconductors with a slightly larger gap than their undoped aGaNNRs, while the C-doped aGaNNRs display metallic characteristics with an impurity state across the Fermi level in band structures. The semiconducting or metallic behaviours of C/B/Al-doped aGaNNRs can be explained by the orbital coupling between the extrinsic atom and primary Ga, N in their partial density of states. Our results show a useful way to modulate the band gaps of aGaNNRs.

Using the density-functional theory, we performed a theoretical research to study the electronic structures of C/B/Al-doped armchair gallium nitride nanoribbons. The calculated band structures show that the perfect and original aGaNNRs are direct semiconductors regardless of ribbon widths, and gaps monotonically decrease with increasing the widths. The B/Al-doped aGaNNRs are semiconductors with a slightly larger gap, while metallic behavior presents in C-doped aGaNNRs with an impurity band across the EF. The results show a useful way to modulate the band gaps of aGaNNRs.
