Abstract
A first principle study of structural properties, work function and electronic properties of pristine and substitutional doped borophene atomic layer with X atoms (X = F, Cl, H, Li, Na) have been carried out within the framework of density functional theory (DFT). Studied adsorption energies are high for all dopants indicating adsorption to be chemisorption type. The reduction in work function of pristine borophene has been found with n-type (Li, Na) dopants is of the order of 0.42 eV which is higher than that of the reduction in work function of borophene with p-type (F, Cl) dopants. For H dopants there is no reduction in work function of borophene. Quantum ballistic conductance has been found to modulate with doping. The quantum ballistic conductance is decreasing for doped borophene in the order Li > Cl ∼ H ∼ Na > F as compared to pristine borophene.
