We propose a unique way to control both bandgap and the magnetic properties of nanoscale graphene, which might prove highly beneficial for application in nanoelectronic and spintronic devices. We have shown that chemical doping by nitrogen…
The $V_N N_B$ defect in hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), comprising a nitrogen vacancy adjacent to a nitrogen-for-boron substitution, is modelled in regard to its possible usefulness in a nanophotonics device. The modelling is done on both a…
The properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and graphene can be modified by the presence of covalently bound impurities. Although this can be achieved by introducing chemical additives during synthesis, that often hinders…
The properties of graphene-like BC$_6$N semiconductor are studied using density functional theory taking into account the attractive interaction between B and N atoms. In the presence of a strong attractive interaction between B and N…
Zigzag edges of graphene nanostructures host localized electronic states that are predicted to be spin-polarized. However, these edge states are highly susceptible to edge roughness and interaction with a supporting substrate, complicating…
We theoretically study the electronic properties of BC2N nanoribbons with zigzag edges using a tight binding model. We show that the zigzag BC2N nanoribbons have the flat bands and edge states when atoms are arranged as B-C-N-C along the…
Graphene nanoribbons are the counterpart of carbon nanotubes in graphene-based nanoelectronics. We investigate the electronic properties of chemically modified ribbons by means of density functional theory. We observe that chemical…
The development of super-hard materials has recently focused on systems containing a heavy transition metal and light main group elements. Niobium carbides and nitrides have previously been identified as potential candidates, however, the…
Stone-Wales (SW) defects are favorably existed in graphenelike materials with honeycomb lattice structure and potentially employed to change the electronic properties in band engineering. In this paper, we investigate structural and…
Semiconducting oxides possess a variety of intriguing electronic, optical, and magnetic properties, and native defects play a crucial role in these systems. In this study, we study the influence of native defects on these properties of…
We propose a class of graphene nanoribbons showing strong intrinsic ferromagnetic behavior due to their asymmetry. Such ribbons are based on a zig-zag edged backbone surmounted by a periodic, triangular notched region of variable size. The…
Wurtzite boron nitride (wBN) is a polymorph of boron nitride and serves as an intermediate phase in the transition from hBN to cBN under high pressure and temperature conditions. Owing to these extreme synthesis conditions, wBN likely…
Nanographenes with zigzag edges are predicted to manifest non-trivial pi-magnetism resulting from the interplay of hybridization of localized frontier states and Coulomb repulsion between valence electrons. This provides a chemically…
We perform first-principles calculations based on density functional theory to study quasi one-dimensional edge-passivated (with hydrogen) zigzag graphene nanoribbons (ZGNRs) of various widths with chemical dopants, boron and nitrogen,…
In carbon nanotubes, the most abundant defects, caused for example by irradiation or chemisorption treatments, are small perturbing clusters, i.e. bi-site defects, extending over both A and B sites. The relative positions of these…
We examine the electronic structure of recently fabricated in-plane heterojunctions of zigzag graphene nanoribbons embedded in hexagonal boron nitride. We focus on hitherto unexplored interface configurations in which both edges of the…
This paper presents first principles calculations of paramagnetic cubic CrN$_x$ with the aim to provide deeper insight into recently published transmission electron microscopy-based study on this material. Among several types of point…
Transport of the edge-state electrons along zigzag phosphorene nanoribbons in presence of two impurities/vacancies is analytically investigated. Considering the places of the defects, a number of different situations are examined. When both…
The formation and electronic properties of nitrogen-related defect complexes in $\beta-Ga_2O_3$ are investigated using first-principles calculations. Starting from the energetically favorable $N_{i9}-N_{OI}$ configuration, nitrogen atoms…
Nanographite systems, where graphene sheets of the orders of the nanometer size are stacked, show novel magnetic properties, such as, spin-glass like behaviors and the change of ESR line widths in the course of gas adsorptions. We…
