Abstract

The electronic and chemical properties of N-doped hybrid graphene and boron nitride armchair nanoribbons (N-doped a-GBNNRs) in comparison with graphene armchair nanoribbon (pristine a-GNR) and hybrid graphene and boron nitride armchair nanoribbon (C-3BN) are investigated using the density functional theory method. The results show that all the mentioned nanoribbons are nonmagnetic direct semiconductors and all the graphitic N-doped a-GBNNRs are n-type semiconductors while the rest are p-type semiconductors. The N-doped graphitic 2 and N-doped graphitic 3 structures have the lowest work function and the highest number of valence electrons (Lowdin charges) which confirms that they are effective for use in electronic device applications.
