Electronic and Optical Properties of the Graphene and Boron Nitride Nanoribbons in Presence of the Electric Field
Abstract: In this study, using density functional theory and the SIESTA computationalcode, we investigate the electronic and optical properties of the armchair graphenenanoribbons and the armchair boron nitride nanoribbons of width 25 in the presence of atransverse external electric field. We have observed that in the absence of the electricfield, these structures are se...
متن کاملFabrication and characterization of multiband solar cells based on highly mismatched alloys
Multiband solar cells are one type of third generation photovoltaic devices in which an increase of the power conversion efficiency is achieved through the absorption of low energy photons while preserving a large band gap that determines the open circuit voltage. The ability to absorb photons from different parts of the solar spectrum originates from the presence of an intermediate energy band...
متن کاملReduced Hamiltonian for Electronic States of Dilute Nitride Semiconductors
We present a novel model to describe conduction band of GaNxAs1−x (GaNAs). As well known, GaNAs shows exotic behavior such as large band gap bowing. Although there are various models to describe the conduction band of GaNAs, origin of the band gap bowing is still under debate. On the basis of perturbation theory, we show that the behavior of conduction band is mainly arising from intervalley mi...
متن کاملElectronic Structure of Dilute Bismide Alloys
The dilute bismide semiconductor GaAs1-xBix represents an interesting counterpart of the dilute nitride alloy GaAs1-xNx. Both exhibit giant bandgap bowing phenomena but with oppositely directed effects on the valence and conduction bands respectively. The optical properties of the dilute bismide alloy will be contrasted with those of the dilute nitride and the similarities and distinctions betw...
متن کاملEngineering the electronic bandgaps and band edge positions in carbon-substituted 2D boron nitride: a first-principles investigation.
Modification of graphene to open a robust gap in its electronic spectrum is essential for its use in field effect transistors and photochemistry applications. Inspired by recent experimental success in the preparation of homogeneous alloys of graphene and boron nitride (BN), we consider here engineering the electronic structure and bandgap of C2xB1-xN1-x alloys via both compositional and config...
