Electron Transport of Boron Nitride Nanoribbons Materials

Article Preview

Abstract:

The transport properties of hexagonal Boron Nitride nanoribbons (BNNRs) are investigated by the Green’s function method. The effect of triangle vacancy on the electron transport of BNNRs is different from that of perfect BNNRs. In particular, the features of the conductance steps are significantly changed in compared to perfect BNNRs. The conductance and density of state of zigzag Boron Nitride nanoribbons are calculated and analyzed in detail to explain these characteristic.
