Two-dimensional graphene-like g- and β-XC7 (X = B, Al, N, P, and Ge) sheets: structural and electronic properties

The structural and electronic properties of X C 7 ( X  = B, Al, N, P, Ge) sheets were investigated through first-principles calculations. Two types of graphene-like sheets named g- and β-XC 7 with honeycomb lattice structures were considered. Their cohesive energies indicate that these sheets are en...

description The structural and electronic properties of X C 7 ( X  = B, Al, N, P, Ge) sheets were investigated through first-principles calculations. Two types of graphene-like sheets named g- and β-XC 7 with honeycomb lattice structures were considered. Their cohesive energies indicate that these sheets are energetically favorable. Both g- and β-XC 7 sheets were found to have good stabilities. The results indicate that g-GeC 7 and β-GeC 7 sheets, as well as g-SiC 7 and β-SiC 7 sheets, are semiconductors. Their band gaps are dependent on the arrangement of Ge and C atoms. For X  = B, Al, N, and P, the g- and β-XC 7 sheets are predicted to have metallic properties. Our results show that graphene-like XC 7 sheets with proper electronic properties may be good candidates for applications in modern and future nanoelectronic devices.
