Directional dependence of the electronic and transport properties of 2D borophene and borophane

Very recently two dimensional layers of boron atoms, so called borophene, have been successfully synthesized. It presents a metallic band structure, with a strong anisotropic character. Upon further hydrogen adsorption a new material is obtained, borophane; giving rise to a Dirac cone structure like the one in graphene. We have performed a first-principles study of the electronic and transport properties of borophene and borophane through the Landauer–Büttiker formalism. We find that borophene presents an electronic current two orders of magnitude larger than borophane. In addition we verified the direction dependence of the electronic current in two perpendicular directions, namely, Ix and Iy; where for both systems, we found a current ratio, η = Ix/Iy, of around 2. Aiming to control such a current anisotropy, η, we performed a study of its dependence with respect to an external strain. Where, by stretching the borophane sheet, η increases by 11% for a bias voltage of 50 mV.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
