Half-Metallicity in Edge-Modified Zigzag Graphene Nanoribbons

Kan, Er-jun, Li, Zhenyu, Yang, Jinlong, Hou, J. G.·2008·Journal of the American Chemical Society

Abstract

Graphene is an important material with potential application in spintronics. Edge-modified zigzag graphene nanoribbons (ZGNR) are investigated with density functional theory. The modifications are realized by saturating the dangling edge bonds by different terminal groups, such as H, NH2, NO2, and CH3. Such modification has a significant impact on the ZGNR electronic structure. Half-metallicity is observed when ZGNR is terminated by NO2 groups at one edge and by CH3 groups on the other side. Free energy analysis suggests that edge-modification is a practical way in experiment to realize half-metallicity.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
