Abstract EN
Under external transverse electronic fields and hydrogen passivation, the electronic structure and band gap of tin dioxide nanoribbons (SnO2NRs) with both zigzag and armchair shaped edges are studied by using the first-principles projector augmented wave (PAW) potential with the density function theory (DFT) framework.
The results showed that the electronic structures of zigzag and armchair edge SnO2NRs exhibit an indirect semiconducting nature and the band gaps demonstrate a remarkable reduction with the increase of external transverse electronic field intensity, which demonstrate a giant Stark effect.
The value of the critical electric field for bare Z-SnO2NRs is smaller than A-SnO2NRs.
In addition, the different hydrogen passivation nanoribbons (Z-SnO2NRs-2H and A-SnO2NRs-OH) show different band gaps and a slightly weaker Stark effect.
The band gap of A-SnO2NRs-OH obviously is enhanced while the Z-SnO2NRs-2H reduce.
Interestingly, the Z-SnO2NRs-OH presented the convert of metal-semiconductor-metal under external transverse electronic fields.
In the end, the electronic transport properties of the different edges SnO2NRs are studied.
These findings provide useful ways in nanomaterial design and band engineering for spintronics.
