锯齿形非对称边缘石墨烯纳米带的半金属性

The Half-Metallicity of Zigzag Graphene Nanoribbons with Asymmetric Edge Terminations

Zuanyi Li, Bing Huang, Wenhui Duan

摘要:

采用第一性原理计算研究了锯齿形石墨烯纳米带的自旋极化电子结构和半金属性.结果表明,与对称的氢封端的ZGNR相比,ZGNR保持了自旋极化的基态,其相对边为反铁磁组态,但其能带不再是自旋简并的.特别是,一个自旋取向的能隙显著减小。因此,这种ZGNR的基态非常接近半金属态,并且因此系统实现半金属态所需的临界电场较小。此外,两种ZGNR在表现为半金属时,都呈现出无质量的狄拉克-费米子能带结构。

英文摘要:

The spin-polarized electronic structure and half-metallicity of zigzag graphene nanoribbons (ZGNRs) with asymmetric edge terminations are investigated by using first principles calculations. It is found that compared with symmetric hydrogen-terminated counterparts, such ZGNRs maintain a spin-polarized ground state with the anti-ferromagnetic configuration at opposite edges, but their energy bands are no longer spin degenerate. In particular, the energy gap of one spin orientation decreases remarkably. Consequently, the ground state of such ZGNRs is very close to half-metallic state, and thus a smaller critical electric field is required for the systems to achieve the half-metallic state. Moreover, two kinds of studied ZGNRs present massless Dirac-fermion band structure when they behave like half-metals.
