What is it about?

Currently, the search for electronic materials that perform better promising as Graphene is widely investigated. So, α-PhoGraphene has drawn attention for being energetically comparable to structures already synthesized. In this work, the electronics and transport properties from α-Pho-Graphene NanoRibbon structures with hydrogenated edges and varied widths were investigated by first principles calculations.

Why is it important?

Our results show that this material preserves ohmic behavior as the width of the NanoRibbon is increased. The Projected Density of States shows that the orbital Cpx is the most important and the band analysis reveals the metallic behavior to all materials, independent of the width.

Perspectives

Investigate to optics properties of these systems.
