Electronic and optical properties of surface-functionalized armchair graphene nanoribbons

Abstract

The functional groups on armchair graphene nanoribbons affect the spatial distribution of the wavefunction and influence the electronic and optical properties as well.

Tuning the Magnetic and Electronic Properties of Janus MoSSe Nanoribbon by Edge Modification: A First‐Principles Study

“…Besides monolayer TMDs, its one‐dimensional (1D) nanoribbon, such as MoS 2 nanoribbon, is a promising 1D material candidate for the next‐generation nanoelectronic device . Similar to graphene nanoribbons, zigzag MoS 2 nanoribbons (Z‐MoS 2 NR) are ferromagnetic metallic, while armchair structures have width‐dependent semiconducting band gaps . Interestingly, both theoretical and experimental studies confirm that their electronic properties are dependent on some factors such as chirality, width, strain, electric field, edges, defects, adsorption, and doping …”

TE-C36 carbon: a new semiconducting phase with an all-sp3 bonding network

“…Since 2004, the observation of twodimensional graphene 4 has given rise to enormous novel scientic and technological exploration. [5][6][7][8][9][10][11] Besides these familiar carbon allotropes, other carbon materials are also investigated. For example, a new carbon allotrope, obtained from the compression of graphite under ambient temperature, 12 exhibits a superhard property, which is even harder than diamond.…”
