Novel Carbon Nanotubes Rolled from 6,6,12-Graphyne: Double Dirac Points in 1D Material
2017
Two kinds of novel carbon nanotubes, namely, (N, 0) and (0, N) 6,6,12-graphyne nanotubes (6,6,12-GNTs), are constructed by rolling up the rectangular 6,6,12-graphyne sheets along two different sides into cylinders. The mechanical and electronic properties of 6,6,12-GNTs with varied N from 3 to 20 are investigated by using density functional theory. Unlike the single-wall carbon nanotubes, the Young’s moduli of 6,6,12-GNTs do not remain constant in the case of (N, 0), but the (0, N) tubes possess almost the same one around 0.32 TPa. The band structures and density of states are also exhibited in this work. When the tube sizes N are bigger than four, Dirac points appear at Fermi level in the …
Giant piezoelectricity in B/N doped 4,12,2-graphyne
2020
Abstract The effects of boron (B) and nitrogen (N) substitutions in 4,12,2-graphyne on its geometric structure and mechanical as well as electronic properties have been systematically investigated with the aid of density functional theory (DFT). The trend in the elastic properties of the substituted systems is determined by the doping positions and the type of the dopants. The Bader charge analysis reveals that the N dopant at the sp-site destroys the acetylenic linkage in 4,12,2-graphyne, but instead tends to form a polar bond, or even possibly a charge-shift bond. In particular, an obvious in-plane piezoelectricity is induced by foreign atom substitutions owing to the deformation of the p…
Elastic, electronic and optical properties of boron- and nitrogen-doped 4,12,4-graphyne nanosheet
2020
Abstract The effects of boron (B) and nitrogen (N) dopants on 4,12,4-graphyne have been systematically investigated with density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The charge density analysis reveals that the N dopant at the sp-site destroys the acetylenic linkage in 4,12,4-graphyne, but instead tends to form a polar bond. The B- and N-doped 4,12,4-graphyne systems exhibit p- and n- semiconductor characters, respectively. Some obvious spin splitting polarizations can be observed in their band structures and DOS. Moreover, there is a giant difference in effective masses between electrons and electron holes, especially for B-doped 4,12,4-graphyne at C5 site. The directional electron and el…
Dipoles in 4,12,4-graphyne
2021
Abstract In present work, B-N pairs as dipole source were introduced into 4,12,4-graphyne. According to the density functional theory (DFT) simulations, the electronic configurations of the doped 4,12,4-graphyne systems were significantly modified owing to the built-in electric fields caused by the B-N dipoles. Different B-N concentrations and arrangements can alter the electronic structure of 4,12,4-graphyne. Consequently, an obvious in-plane piezoelectricity can also be induced. Moreover, the direct band gap can be delicately modulated from 150 meV to 660 meV at PBE level. The B-N dipoles can also greatly enhance the light absorption instead of shifting the absorption region. According to…
