The performance of field effect transistors comprised of a zigzag graphene nanoribbon that is symmetrically doped with boron nitride (BN) as a channel material, is numerically studied for the first time. The device merit for digital applications is investigated in terms of the on-, the off- and the on/off-current ratio. Due to the strong effect of the substrate roughness on the performance of g...

We present theoretical evidence, based on total-energy first-principles calculations, of the existence of spin-polarized states well localized at and extended along the edges of bare zigzag boron nitride nanoribbons. Our calculations predict that all the magnetic configurations studied in this work are thermally accessible at room temperature and present an energy gap. In particular, we show th...

Anode Materials In article number 2103158, Fen Ran and co-workers develop the efficient approach of rapid cooling in a refrigerator, for large-scale fabrication melamine-ammonium metavanadate supramolecular nanoribbons. The vanadium-supramolecules derived vanadium nitride/carbon nanoribbons present mesoporous structure, which endow fabricated with high capacitance 266.3 F g−1 at 0.5 A g−1.

The achievement of half-metallicity with ferromagnetic (FM) coupling has become a key technology for the development of one-dimensional (1D) nanoribbons for spintronic applications. Unfortunately, in previous studies, such a half-metallicity always occurs upon certain external constraints. Here we, for the first time, demonstrate, via density functional theory (DFT), that the recent experimenta...

We studied the energetics and electronic structure of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) nanoribbons with hydrogenated and clean edges with respect to the detailed edge shapes using density functional theory. Our calculations showed that the stability of h-BN edges strongly depends on the edge termination. In the case of hydrogenated edges, the formation energy is constant for all edge angles rangi...

Thermoelectric materials have attracted the attention of scientists because they directly convert waste heat electric energy into valuable electrical energy. In recent years, boron nitride structure has much due to its thermoelectric properties and environmental friendliness. this paper, nanoribbons were simulated analyzed, discovering that figure-of-merit (ZT) value armchair is better than zig...

Two-dimensional boron-carbon-nitride materials exhibit a spectrum of electronic properties ranging from insulating to semimetallic, depending on their composition and geometry. Detailed experimental insights into the phase separation and ordering in such alloy are currently lacking. Here we report the mixing and demixing of boron-nitrogen and carbon phases on ruthenium (0001) and found that ene...

A variable pressure (up to 10 atm) powder/gas/liquid injection inductively coupled plasma system has been developed and used to produce high-quality boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) at continuous production rates of 35 g/h. Under suitable conditions, collapsed BN nanotubes (i.e., nanoribbons), and closed shell BN capsules (i.e., nanococoons) are also obtained. The process is adaptable to a large...

The spin-polarized electronic transport properties of zigzag graphene nanoribbons (ZGNRs) and boron nitride nanoribbons (ZBNNRs) heterojunctions with a boron vacancy are investigated by using nonequilibrium Green's function and density functional theory, especially under an external electric field. The model we used in this paper is chosen from the last essay we researched, the I–V curves in th...
