摘要:

低维材料的电子性质可以通过掺杂来设计,但在石墨烯纳米带(GNR)的情况下,两个破密边缘的接近引入了对杂质在带宽度上的位置的额外依赖性。这为杂质引入了能量上有利的位置,导致杂质浓度的一定程度的空间偏析。我们开发了一个简单的模型来计算任意杂质的GNR系统的能量变化,因为该杂质是在整个带移动,并通过与从头计算比较验证其结果。虽然我们的研究结果与以前的作品预测GNR的边缘无序的优势,我们认为,整个带状吸附杂质的分布可能是可控的外部因素,即施加的电场。我们建议,这种控制杂质偏析可能允许操纵和微调的磁性和输运性质的GNRs。

英文摘要:

The electronic properties of low-dimensional materials can be engineered by doping, but in the case of graphene nanoribbons (GNR) the proximity of two symmetry-breaking edges introduces an additional dependence on the location of an impurity across the width of the ribbon. This introduces energetically favorable locations for impurities, leading to a degree of spatial segregation in the impurity concentration. We develop a simple model to calculate the change in energy of a GNR system with an arbitrary impurity as that impurity is moved across the ribbon and validate its findings by comparison with ab initio calculations. Although our results agree with previous works predicting the dominance of edge disorder in GNR, we argue that the distribution of adsorbed impurities across a ribbon may be controllable by external factors, namely an applied electric field. We propose that this control over impurity segregation may allow manipulation and fine-tuning of the magnetic and transport properties of GNRs.
