摘要:

硅烯是一种很有前途的二维狄拉克材料,可作为范德华异质结构(vdWHs)的构建块。本文采用第一性原理计算研究了六方氮化硼/硅烯(BN/Si)vdWHs的电子性质。计算了不同旋转角度的BN/Si/BN异质结构的能带结构,发现BN层对硅烯的电子性质有很强的保护作用。在BN/Si/BN/Si/BN异质结构中,我们发现费米能附近的能带结构对硅烯层由于层间耦合而产生的堆叠结构敏感。通过增加硅烯层之间的BN层的数量来减少耦合,并且在BN/Si/(BN)3/Si/BN中变得可以忽略。在(BN)n/Si超晶格中,通过增加硅烯层之间的BN层的数量,能带结构经历了从狄拉克线到狄拉克点的转换。硅烯夹在其他二维材料的计算表明,硅烯夹在低碳掺杂的氮化硼或HfO 2是半导体。

英文摘要:

Silicene is a promising 2D Dirac material as a building block for van der Waals heterostructures (vdWHs). Here we investigate the electronic properties of hexagonal boron nitride/silicene (BN/Si) vdWHs using first-principles calculations. We calculate the energy band structures of BN/Si/BN heterostructures with different rotation angles and find that the electronic properties of silicene are retained and protected robustly by the BN layers. In BN/Si/BN/Si/BN heterostructure, we find that the band structure near the Fermi energy is sensitive to the stacking configurations of the silicene layers due to interlayer coupling. The coupling is reduced by increasing the number of BN layers between the silicene layers and becomes negligible in BN/Si/(BN)3/Si/BN. In (BN)n/Si superlattices, the band structure undergoes a conversion from Dirac lines to Dirac points by increasing the number of BN layers between the silicene layers. Calculations of silicene sandwiched by other 2D materials reveal that silicene sandwiched by low-carbon-doped boron nitride or HfO2 is semiconducting.
