Electronic phase transition in bilayer P6mmm borophene
In this study, using the tight-binding model and Green's function technique, we investigate potential electronic phase transitions in bilayer P6mmm borophene under the influence of external stimuli, including a perpendicular electric field, electron–hole coupling between sublayers (excitonic effects), and dopants. Our focus is on key electronic properties such as the band structure and density of states. Our findings reveal that the pristine lattice is metal with Dirac cones around the Fermi level, where their intersection forms a nodal line. The system undergoes transitions to a semiconducting state – elimination of nodal line – with a perpendicular electric field and a semimetallic state – transition from two Dirac cones to a single Dirac cone – with combined electric field and excitonic effects. Notably, with these, the system retains its massless Dirac-like bands characteristic at finite energy. However, introducing a dopant still leads to a metallic phase, but the Dirac-like bands become massive. Considering all these effects, the system ultimately reaches a semiconducting phase with massive Dirac-like bands. These results hold significance for optoelectronic applications.
期刊介绍:
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.
