Possible charge ordered states in BN (BCN) nanotubes and nanoribbons
نویسنده
چکیده
Electronic states in boron-nitride and boron-carbon-nitride nanoribbons with zigzag edges are studied using the extended Hubbard model with nearest neighbor Coulomb interactions. The charge and spin polarized states are considered, and the phase diagram between two states is obtained. Next, the electric capacitance is calculated in order to examine the nano-functionalities of the system. Due to the presence of the strong site energies, the charge polarized state overcomes the spin polarized states, giving the large difference of the phase diagram in comparison with that of graphite system. The electronic structures are always like of semiconductors. The capacitance calculated for the charge polarized state with the realistic values of the Coulomb interactions is inversely proportional to the ribbon width, owing to the presence of the charge excitation energy gap.

متن کاملCalculations of Electric Capacitance in Carbon and BN Nanotubes, and Zigzag Nanographite (BN, BCN) Ribbons
Electronic states in nanographite ribbons with zigzag edges are studied using the extended Hubbard model with nearest neighbor Coulomb interactions. The electronic states with the opposite electric charges separated along both edges are analogous as nanocondensers. Therefore, electric capacitance, defined using a relation of polarizability, is calculated to examine nano-functionalities. We find...
متن کاملHalf-metallicity in hybrid BCN nanoribbons.
The established chemical synthetic strategy toward graphene nanoribbons has greatly prompted and justified the research of theoretical designs of novel materials based on graphene. In this paper, we report the novel half-metallicity in C and BN hybrid zigzag nanoribbons even though stand-alone C or BN nanoribbon possesses a finite band gap. By performing first-principles electronic-structure ca...
متن کاملStructure and electronic properties of single–walled zigzag BN and B3C2N3 nanotubes using first-principles methods
The structure and the electronic properties of single-walled zigzag BN and B3C2N3 nanotubes (n, 0; n=4–10) were investigated using first-principles calculations based on a density functional theory. A plane–wave basis set with periodic boundary conditions in conjunction with Vanderbilt ultrasoft pseudo-potential was employed. The energy gap of ZB3C<su...
