Abstract
By using density functional theory (DFT) and nonequilibrium Green's function (NEGF), field effect transistor (FET) based on zigzag shaped phosphorene nanoribbons (ZPNR) are investigated. The FETs are constructed with bare-edged ZPNRs as electrodes and H, Cl or OH adsorbed ZPNRs as channel. It is found FETs with the three kinds of channel show similar transport properties. The FET is p-type with a maximum current on/off ratio of 104 and a minimum off-current of 1 nA. The working mode of FETs is dependent on the parity of channel length. It can be either enhancement mode or depletion mode and the off-state current shows an even-odd oscillation. The current oscillations are interpreted with density of states (DOS) analysis and methods of evolution operator and tight-binding Hamiltonian. Operating mechanism of the designed FETs is also presented with projected local density of states and band diagrams.
