Abstract:
Edge states of various two-dimensional materials such as graphene are intrinsically spin-polarized. In other materials, electric field and charge doping are required for introducing magnetism to their edges. In this work, by using first-principles calculations, we studied the effects of transverse electric field on the edge states of the armchair blue phosphorene nanoribbon (ABPNR), and found that a transverse electric field drives the edge electronic state occupied and at the same time spin-polarized. We also doped electrons to the ABPNR and found that these additional electrons occupy and spin-polarize the electronic states of both edges of the nanoribbon.
