First-principles predictions of tunable half metallicity in zigzag GaN nanoribbons with possible applications in CO detection and spintronics

Rachana Yogi, Kamal K. Jha, Alok Shukla +1

Based on systematic first-principles density-functional theory (DFT) simulations, we predict that the zigzag GaN nanoribbons (ZGaNNR) can be used both as highly efficient CO detect…
