The transport properties of the molecular-scale B2C and BC3 electronic devices

The transport properties of the molecular-scale B₂C and BC₃ electronic devices are investigated with an ab initio method combined with a nonequilibrium Green function technique. The effects of different BC graphenes and ribbon lengths on the transport properties of the devices are significant. The results show that the devices with different BC graphenes and sizes have unusual transmission coefficients, which leads to special current transport mechanisms for the devices. Notably, the current strength of the device with the shortest ribbon length is the largest in three B₂C devices, but the current strength of the device with the shortest ribbon length is the smallest for BC₃ device.
