摘要:

范德华异质结构作为光电子学和光子学的新材料引起了人们的兴趣,对它们的稳定性和结构-性能关系提出了问题。在密度泛函和多体微扰理论的框架下,我们研究了石墨烯和六方氮化硼(h-BN)形成的周期性异质结构的结构、电子和光学性质.为了了解组分如何根据层堆叠相互影响,我们研究了12个相称的安排。我们发现,与石墨烯的相互作用提高了散装h-BN的稳定性,也在那些被预测为能量亚稳的配置。反过来,与h-BN的相互作用可以在石墨烯中打开几百meV的带隙。它的实际大小可以通过层的排列来调整。在半导体结构中,光激发的特征和空间分布受到特定堆叠的影响,从而决定了跃迁所涉及的电子状态。值得注意的是,12个探索的异质结构中有6个仍然是半金属的。

英文摘要:

The emerging interest in van der Waals heterostructures as new materials for opto-electronics and photonics poses questions about their stability and structure-property relations. In the framework of density-functional and many-body perturbation theory, we investigate the structural, electronic, and optical properties of periodic heterostructures formed by graphene and hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN). To understand how the constituents affect each other depending on the layer stacking, we examine 12 commensurate arrangements. We find that interaction with graphene improves the stability of bulk h-BN also in those configurations that are predicted to be energetically metastable. In return, the interaction with h-BN can open a band gap of a few hundred meV in graphene. Its actual size can be tuned by the arrangement of the layers. In the semiconducting configurations, the character and spatial distribution of optical excitations are affected by the specific stacking, that determines the electronic states involved in the transitions. Remarkably, six out of the 12 explored heterostructures remain semi-metallic.
