Rectification induced in N{sub 2}{sup AA}-doped armchair graphene nanoribbon device

Journal Article Chen, Tong ; Wang, Ling-Ling ; Luo, Kai-Wu ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

By using non-equilibrium Green function formalism in combination with density functional theory, we investigated the electronic transport properties of armchair graphene nanoribbon devices in which one lead is undoped and the other is N{sub 2}{sup AA}-doped with two quasi-adjacent substitutional nitrogen atoms incorporating pairs of neighboring carbon atoms in the same sublattice A. Two kinds of N{sub 2}{sup AA}-doped style are considered, for N dopants substitute the center or the edge carbon atoms. Our results show that the rectification behavior with a large rectifying ratio can be found in these devices and the rectifying characteristics can be modulated by changingmore »« less

Semiconductor to metal transition by tuning the location of N{sub 2}{sup AA} in armchair graphene nanoribbons

Journal Article Chen, Tong ; Wang, Ling-Ling ; Li, Quan ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

The electronic band structures and transport properties of N{sub 2}{sup AA}-doped armchair graphene nanoribbons (aGNRs) with two quasi-adjacent substitutional nitrogen atoms incorporated in pairs of neighboring carbon atoms in the same sublattice A are investigated by using non-equilibrium Green function formalism in combination with density functional theory. The results show that the coupling effect between the Pz orbitals of carbon and nitrogen atoms plays an important role in the transition between semiconductor and metal by different locations of N{sub 2}{sup AA}-doped aGNRs. And the striking negative differential resistance behaviors can be found in such devices. These tremendous properties suggest potentialmore »« less

Tuning electronic and magnetic properties of armchair|zigzag hybrid graphene nanoribbons by the choice of supercell model of grain boundaries

Journal Article Lian, Ke-Yan ; Division of Theoretical Chemistry and Biology, School of Biotechnology, KTH, Royal Institute of Technology, S-106 91 Stockholm ; Li, Xiao-Fei ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

Grain boundaries (GBs) attract much interest for its ability to tune the property of hybrid materials. Theoretically predicting the properties of hybrid graphene with GBs, even a linear GB remains challenging due to its inhomogeneous structure, which makes supercell model tough to choose in theoretic studies. For the first time, the applicability of supercells with different GBs and lattice-mismatches for describing armchair-zigzag hybrid graphene nanoribbons was validated by ab initio molecular dynamic simulations and first principles electronic structure calculations. And to what extent the electronic properties can be tuned by the strain effects resulting from the lattice-mismatch and the GBsmore »« less

Electron transport property of cobalt-centered porphyrin-armchair graphene nanoribbon (AGNR) junction

Journal Article Mondal, Rajkumar ; Sarkar, Utpal - AIP Conference Proceedings

We have investigated the electron transport properties of Cobalt-centered (Co-centered) porphyrin molecule using the density functional theory and non-equilibrium greens function method. Here we have reported transmission coefficient as well as current voltage characteristics of Co-centered porphyrine molecule connected between armchair graphene nanoribbons. It has been found that at low bias region i.e., 0 V to 0.3 V it does not contribute any current. Gradual increase of bias voltage results different order of magnitude of current in different bias region.
