First-principles density functional calculations are performed in C-BN heterojunctions. It is shown that the magnetism of the edge states in zigzag shaped graphene strips and polarity effects in BN strips team up to give a spin asymmetric…

We investigate the low-lying excitation spectrum and ground-state properties of narrow graphene nanoribbons with zigzag edge configurations. Nanoribbons of comparable widths have been synthesized very recently [P. Ruffieux, \emph{et al.}…

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…

Based on systematic first-principles density-functional theory (DFT) simulations, we predict that the zigzag GaN nanoribbons (ZGaNNR) can be used both as highly efficient CO detectors as well as spin filters. Our calculations performed both…

Based on first-principles calculations, we present a quantum confinement mechanism for the band gaps of blue phosphorene nanoribbons (BPNRs) as a function of their widths. The BPNRs considered have either armchair or zigzag shaped edges on…

In this study, we analyze the band structure, the state characterization, and electronic transport of monolayer black phosphorus (phosphorene) zigzag nanoribbons (zPNRs) and armchair nanoribbons (aPNRs), using five-parameter tight-binding…

Phosphorene is a recently developed two-dimensional (2D) material that has attracted tremendous attention because of its unique anisotropic optical properties and quasi-one-dimensional (1D) excitons. We use first-principles calculations…

A first-principles investigation of the electronic properties of boron nitride nanoribbons (BNNRs) having either armchair or zigzag shaped edges passivated by hydrogen with widths up to 10 nm is presented. Band gaps of armchair BNNRs…

We study the effect of semicore states on the self-energy corrections and electronic energy gaps of silicon, germanium and GaAs. Self-energy effects are computed within the GW approach, and electronic states are expanded in a plane-wave…

The optical response of quasi-one-dimensional systems is often dominated by tightly bound excitons, that significantly influence their basic electronic properties. Despite their importance for device performance, accurately predicting their…

We employ first-principles calculations based density-functional-theory (DFT) approach to study electronic properties of partially and fully edge-hydrogenated armchair boron-nitrogen-carbon (BNC) nanoribbons (ABNCNRs), with widths between…

In nodal-line semimetals linearly dispersing states form Dirac loops in the reciprocal space, with high degree of electron-hole symmetry and almost-vanishing density of states near the Fermi level. The result is reduced electronic screening…

At B3LYP level of theory, we predict that the half-metallicity in zigzag edge graphene nanoribbon (ZGNR) can be realized when an external electric field is applied across the ribbon. The critical electric field to induce the…
