Spintronics addresses the spin degree of freedom of electrons as an analog of the traditional
information technology approach toward the charge degree of freedom. Two-dimensional …

Transition metal dichalcogenides, in the monolayer and nanoribbon forms, have found
extensive use in various field-effect transistors. We investigated the potential of armchair …

The effects of (hydrogen/halogen)–edge termination on the structural, electronic, and optical
properties of planar SiNRs with either zigzag (ZSiNRs) and armchair (ASiNRs) edges are …

This article presents a theoretical analysis of spin-dependent transport and spin-transfer
torque in a borophene-based ferromagnetic/normal/ferromagnetic junction. This study …

In this study, by combining the tight-binding description with the gradient approximation, we
investigated the impacts of electric gating and divacancies on the optical characteristics of …

We investigate the electronic structure and the thermoelectric transport properties of zigzag
buckling silicene nanoribbons (BSiNRs) under the effect of external electric fields by means …
