Silicene Nanoribbons

In this paper, first-principles calculations are carried out to study the electronic and magnetic properties of silicene and silicane nanoribbons, with and without H -passivation at the edges. We predict that the armchair nanoribbons are nonmagnetic and semiconducting. Interestingly, the band gaps of armchair silicene nanoribbons show oscillating behavior as the ribbon width increases. When their edges are passivated with H atoms, However, the oscillating phase is reversed. The zigzag nanoribbons are anti-ferromagnetic and semiconducting in their ground states, except that the zigzag silicane nanoribbons with edges passivated by H atoms are nonmagnetic. The zigzag silicane nanoribbons with bare edges show the highest magnetic moments in their ground states. The band gaps of zigzag nanoribbons in their ground states decrease with the increment of width. The metastable states of zigzag silicene nanoribbons are ferromagnetic and metallic. The zigzag silicane nanoribbons with bare edges are ferromagnetic and semiconducting in their metastable states. The silicene/silicane nanoribbons with attractive functions, which are achievable by edge engineering or external fields, may be applied to spintronic technologies and nanodevices.

The electronic structure properties of Janus MoSSe/WSSe superlattice nanoribbons (SLNRs) are investigated by first-principles calculations. The ribbon width, combination ratio and period length have a great effect on the properties of the SLNRs.

Functional Theory

Using the first-principles calculations within density functional theory (DFT), we investigated the electronic and magnetic properties of (100) surface of inverse Heusler alloy Mn2CoSb with five different terminations. Our work reveals that the surface Mn atom moves to vacuum while surface Co atom moves to slab. Moreover, duo to the reason that the surface atom lost half of the nearest atoms with respect to the bulk phase, resulting in the decrease of hybridization, the atom-resolved spin magnetic moments of surface atoms are enhanced. Further investigation on DOS and PDOS showed that half-metallicity was preserved only in SbSb-termination while was destroyed in MnCo-, MnSb-, MnMn-, and CoCo-termination due to the appearance of surface states.

Stable Structures

The ground state geometric structures of the nanoparticles or clusters CO n(n = 1-6) were given based on the first-principles calculations. Then the magnetic properties of the clusters CO n(n = 1-6) and ( CO n)-2(n = 1-6) were calculated in system. Results show that their ground state structures are closely related to the numbers of O-ions. These clusters have no magnetic moments and half-metallicity if they are electroneutral. However, they have magnetic moments if they have positive or negative charges. The total magnetic moments of the clusters ( CO n)-2(n = 1-6, but n≠3) are all 2.0000 μB, and all their ions have contributions to the total magnetic moments. The main reason is that the molecular orbitals with lower energy filled with paired electrons and the molecular orbitals with higher energy are occupied by two electrons in parallel.

First-principles calculations were performed to investigate the effects of boron/nitrogen dopant on the geometry, electronic structure and magnetic properties of the penta-graphene system. It was found that the electronic band gap of penta-graphene could be tuned and varied between 1.88 and 2.12 eV depending on the type and location of the substitution. Moreover, the introduction of dopant could cause spin polarization and lead to the emergence of local magnetic moments. The main origin of the magnetic moment was analyzed and discussed by the examination of the spin-polarized charge density. Furthermore, the direction of charge transfer between the dopant and host atoms could be attributed to the competition between the charge polarization and the atomic electronegativity. Two charge-transfer mechanisms worked together to determine which atoms obtained electrons. These results provide the possibility of modifying penta-graphene by doping, making it suitable for future applications in the field of optoelectronic and magnetic devices.

The structural stability and magnetic properties of the cubic and tetragonal phases of Mn3Z (Z = Ga, In, Tl, Ge, Sn, Pb) Heusler alloys are studied by using first-principles calculations. It is found that with the increasing of the atomic radius of Z atom, the more stable phase varies from the cubic to the tetragonal structure. With increasing tetragonal distortion, the magnetic moments of Mn (A/C and B) atoms change in a regular way, which can be traced back to the change of the relative distance and the covalent hybridization between the atoms.
