In the present work, we present a first-principles study on the effects of an external electric field on the structural stability and electronic properties of boron nitride Möbius stripes with armchair and zigzag chirality. The calculation results indicate that the gap energy can be remarkably reduced by the application of an external field. Such reduction is in principle attributed to the occurrence of Stark effect, which significance depends on the orientation of the applied field relative to the stripe axis. Moreover, the electric field produces significant changes on dipole momentum of the structure and induces a negative shift on the calculated total energy, reducing the obtained formation energy. - Highlights: • The gap energy is remarkably reduced by the application of an external field. • The electric field produces significant changes on dipole momentum. • The field induces a negative shift on the total energy due to Stark effect.
