Title: | Multi-functional nano-electronics constructed using boron phosphide and silicon carbide nanoribbons | Authors: | Dong, JC Li, H Li, L |
Issue Date: | Jul-2013 | Source: | NPG Asia materials, July 2013, , v. 5, e56, p. 1-11 | Abstract: | First-principles density functional theory and non-equilibrium Green function calculations provide theoretical support for the promising applications of multi-functional nano-electronics constructed using zigzag boron phosphide (BP) nanoribbons (zBPNRs) and silicon carbide nanoribbons (zSiCNRs). The results indicate that zBPNRs are non-magnetic direct bandgap semiconductors with bandgaps of similar to 1 eV. Devices constructed using hybrid zSiC-BP-SiC nanoribbon structures are found to exhibit not only significant field-effect characteristics but also tunable negative differential resistance. Moreover, 'Y'- and 'D'-shaped nano-structures composed of zBPNRs and zSiCNRs exhibit pronounced spin polarization properties at their edges, suggesting their potential use in spintronic applications. Interestingly, a transverse electric field can convert zBPNRs to non-magnetic indirect bandgap semiconductors, ferrimagnetic semiconductors or half-metals depending on the strength and direction of the field. This study may provide a new path for the exploration of nano-electronics. | Keywords: | Bp nanoribbons Density functional theory Hybrid structure Multi-functional nano-Electronics Non-equilibrium green function SiC nanoribbons |
