Proximity induced Colossal Conductivity Modulation in Phosphorene
arXiv:1907.03306 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevApplied.11.024056
Abstract
Phosphorene is a promising single elemental two-dimensional layered semiconductor with huge potential for future nanoelectronics and spintronics applications. In this work, we investigated the effect of an organic molecule (benzene) in the close proximity of a Phosphorene nanoribbon. Our extensive calculations reveal that the semiconducting nature of Phosphorene stays unaffected as a result of the molecular adsorption while the transport properties go through drastic changes. Under the influence of dopant atoms and external strain, colossal changes in the conductivity is observed with a maximum enhancement > 1500% which has not been observed earlier. This effect is pretty robust against the (i) variation of system size, (ii) type, location and concentration of dopants and (iii) nature and magnitude of the external strain. Furthermore, we demonstrated how a gate voltage can be used to fine tune the enhanced conductivity response in a Field-effect transistor (FET) structure. Our results provide new direction for Phosphorene based nanoelectronics in applications like sensing, switching where a higher level of conduction can offer better resolution, higher ON/OFF ratio and superior energy efficiency.
