How does the electric current propagate through fully-hydrogenated borophene?
Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics : PCCP 2018 August 23
We study the electronic transport properties of two-dimensional (2D) fully-hydrogenated borophene (namely, borophane), using density functional theory and non-equilibrium Green's function approaches. Borophane shows a perfect electrical transport anisotropy and is promising for applications. Along the peak- or equivalently the valley-parallel direction, 2D borophane exhibits a metallic characteristic and its current-voltage (I-V) curve shows a linear behavior, corresponding to the ON state in borophane-based nano-switches. In this case, electrons mainly propagate via the B-B bonds along the linear boron chains. In contrast, electron transmission is almost forbidden along the perpendicular buckled direction (i.e., the OFF state), due to its semi-conductor property. Our work demonstrates that 2D borophane could combine metal and semiconductor features and may be a promising candidate for nano-switching materials with a stable structure and high ON/OFF ratio.
