Background:

Black phosphorus (BP) is a promising 2D semiconductor with unique electronic properties.
BP's ambient instability and band gap reduction in multilayers limit its practical applications.
Interfacing with other 2D materials offers a route to overcome these limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the stabilization of black phosphorus (BP) using hexagonal boron nitride (hBN).
To explore the electronic properties of hBN/BP interfaces.
To propose a novel device architecture for tunneling field-effect transistors (TFETs) based on BP.

Main Methods:

Simulations of large, rotated hBN/BP interfaces using linear-scaling density functional theory.
Analysis of electronic properties, including band gap behavior in BP multilayers.
Modeling of a tunneling field-effect transistor (TFET) device.

Main Results:

hBN encapsulation preserves the intrinsic electronic properties of BP monolayers.
hBN spacers effectively counteract the band gap reduction in stacked BP layers.
Simulated BP TFETs exhibit low-power, fast-switching operation and negative differential resistance.

Conclusions:

Interfacing BP with hBN effectively addresses its instability and band gap issues.
The proposed hBN-spaced BP bilayer TFET demonstrates competitive performance compared to existing technologies.
This work paves the way for advanced electronic devices utilizing black phosphorus.
