研究目的
To study the stability and electronic properties of hydrogenated and fluorinated two-dimensional sp3 boron phosphide (BP) and boron arsenide (BAs) using first-principles density functional theory calculations.
研究成果
The hydrogenated and fluorinated BX (X = P, As) systems are likely to have comparable stabilities as compared to graphane and fluorographene, respectively. The H-BX systems show larger and indirect band gaps in comparison with the F-BX counterparts. The former can have applications in hydrogen storage devices, while the latter can be utilized in ultrafast electronic devices. The bilayers have some exciting characteristics, such as nearly linear dispersion of the conduction band and heavy- and light-hole bands, making them suitable for fast nanoelectronic devices.
研究不足
The study is theoretical and based on density functional theory calculations. Experimental validation is required to confirm the findings.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
Density functional theory calculations were performed using quantum espresso (QE), SIESTA, and Gaussian codes. The projector-augmented wave method and Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE) flavor of the generalized gradient approximation were used to describe the exchange and correlation in QE. The dispersion-corrected PBE-D2 scheme was used for vdW-DF calculations.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The study focused on hydrogenated and fluorinated two-dimensional sp3 boron phosphide (BP) and boron arsenide (BAs).
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Quantum espresso (QE), SIESTA, and Gaussian codes were used for calculations. The basis set selected was the DZP polarization functions.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Geometry optimization was followed until the forces were less than 0.01 eV/?. The unit cell was sampled with a 30 × 30 × 1 grid of k-points. The vacuum region along the z-axis was fixed to 20 ?.
5:01 eV/?. The unit cell was sampled with a 30 × 30 × 1 grid of k-points. The vacuum region along the z-axis was fixed to 20 ?.
Data Analysis Methods:
5. Data Analysis Methods: The electronic band structures and projected density of states (PDOS) were calculated to analyze the electronic properties.
