Abstract
The electrical conductance of hybrid monolayer graphene/h-BN ribbon with zigzag edges is numerically investigated using density functional theory. Our findings reveal that transmission of graphene/h-BN hybrid structure is sensitive to the arrangement of its component. The result also shows that replacing carbon atoms with boron and nitrogen totally reduces the transmission. Three different arrangement of BN domains have been investigated: replacing carbon atoms with boron and nitrogen in the transport direction, perpendicular to the transport direction and diagonal direction. We find that combination of many factors such as edge effect, additional charge carrier, interface of BN and carbon domains can alter transmission significantly.
