RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 Tunable gap in stable arsenene nanoribbons opens the door to electronic applications A1 García Fuente, Amador A1 Carrete, J. A1 Vega Hierro, Andrés A1 Gallego, Luis Javier K1 Arsenene nanoribbons K1 Nanocintas de arseneno K1 Electronic applications K1 Aplicaciones electrónicas AB Arsenic has been predicted to present significantly more diverse 2D phases than other elementalcompounds like graphene. While practical applications must be based on finite arsenene samples, likenanoribbons, theory has so far focused on the infinite sheet. Our ab initio simulations show the clearcontrast between the properties of arsenene nanoribbons and those of the monolayer, ranging fromphase stability to electronic structure. We include nanoribbons derived from the buckled, puckered andsquare/octagon structures of bulk arsenene. The flexibility afforded by different parent structures, widthsand edge passivations leads to a rich variety of semiconducting structures with tunable gaps.
