In this paper, using the density functional theory framework with the FP-LAPW + lo method by GGA approximation, the electronic and optical properties such as band structure, density of states, dielectric function, energy loss function, absorption and reflection have been investigated for borophene nano-sheet. The optical properties of the borophene have been changed as the incident light direction whereas has the metallic and semiconductor behavior, in the borophene sheet and perpendicular light angles, respectively. Therefore, it can be said that the optical properties of this material are anisotropic.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
