Abstract
|
The feasibility, structure and properties of coplanar heterostructures constructed from graphene and boron are systematically studied by using density functional theory. By calculating the system's energy, we identify the most stable two-dimensional heterojunction with various configurations and analyze its construction mode, electrical, and optical properties in detail. Our results reveal that the graphene-χ3 borophene heterojunction can be stabilized when the carbon six-membered ring and boron five-membered ring are in a head-to-head combination at the interface. Further analysis of the charge transfer and density of states indicates the presence of a stable covalent bond between graphene and borophene. Notably, this heterojunction exhibits a zero band gap and metallic properties, making it highly attractive for potential applications. Moreover, we find that the graphene-χ3 borophene heterojunction demonstrates excellent visible light absorption performance, further highlighting its potential for optoelectronic applications. The unique properties of this coplanar heterostructure suggest promising prospects for its utilization in devices such as sensors, photodetectors, and energy harvesting devices. |
