利用密度泛函理论,计算了羟基饱和锯齿型石墨烯纳米带(OH-ZGNRs)的相对稳定性和外加横向电场对其电子结构的影响.计算结果表明:OH-ZGNRs比氢饱和ZGNRs(H-ZGNRs)更为稳定,具有窄带隙自旋极化基态.此外,在外加横向电场作用下,OH-ZGNRs可实现半导体到半金属相转变.
Using the density-functional theory, the structural stability and the effect of in-plane electric field on the electronic structure of zigzag graphene nanoribbin (OH-ZGNR), which is terminated by hydroxyl, are explored. It is found that hydroxyl bonding on the ZGNR edge is much more stable than H-terminated ZGNR(H-ZGNRs). The ground state of the ZGNR is spin-polarized with a narrow energy gap. Furthermore, transition from semiconducting to metallic phase in ZGNR can be achieved if a proper in-plane electric field is applied across the edges OH-ZGNR.
