Prediction of Half Metallicity along the Edge of Boron Nitride Zigzag Nanoribbons

Fawei Zheng, Gang Zhou, Zhirong Liu +4

First-principles calculations reveal half metallicity in zigzag boron nitride (BN) nanoribbons (ZBNNRs). When the B edge, but not the N edge, of the ZBNNR is passivated, despite be…
