Two-dimensional boron is promising as a tunable monolayer metal for nano-optoelectronics. We study the optoelectronic properties of two likely allotropes of two-dimensional boron using first-principles density functional theory and many-body perturbation theory. We find that both systems are anisotropic metals, with strong energy- and thickness-dependent optical transparency and a weak (<1%) absorbance in the visible range. Additionally, using state-of-the-art methods for the description of the electron-phonon and electron-electron interactions, we show that the electrical conductivity is limited by electron-phonon interactions. Our results indicate that both structures are suitable as a transparent electrode.

Comprehensive Study

In a comprehensive study, structural properties, electronic structure and optical response of crystalline o-phenanthroline were investigated. Our results show that in generalized gradient approximation (GGA) approximation, o-phenanthroline is a direct bandgap semiconductor of 2.60 eV. In the framework of many-body approach, by solving the Bethe–Salpeter equation (BSE), dielectric properties of crystalline o-phenanthroline were studied and compared with phenanthrene. Highly anisotropic components of the imaginary part of the macroscopic dielectric function in o-phenanthroline show four main excitonic features in the bandgap region. In comparison to phenanthrene, these excitons occur at lower energies. Due to smaller bond lengths originated from the polarity nature of bonds in presence of nitrogen atoms, denser packing, and therefore, a weaker screening effect, exciton binding energies in o-phenanthroline were found to be larger than those in phenanthrene. Our results showed that in comparison to the independent-particle picture, excitonic effects highly redistribute the oscillator strength.

Density Matrix Renormalization

We introduce a computational approach to study porphyrin-like transition metal complexes, bridging density functional theory and exact many-body techniques, such as the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG). We first derive a multi-orbital Anderson impurity Hamiltonian starting from first principles considerations that qualitatively reproduce generalized gradient approximation (GGA)+U results when ignoring inter-orbital Coulomb repulsion U ′ and Hund exchange J. An exact canonical transformation is used to reduce the dimensionality of the problem and make it amenable to DMRG calculations, including all many-body terms (both intra- and inter-orbital), which are treated in a numerically exact way. We apply this technique to FeN 4 centers in graphene and show that the inclusion of these terms has dramatic effects: as the iron orbitals become single occupied due to the Coulomb repulsion, the inter-orbital interaction further reduces the occupation, yielding a non-monotonic behavior of the magnetic moment as a function of the interactions, with maximum polarization only in a small window at intermediate values of the parameters. Furthermore, U ′ changes the relative position of the peaks in the density of states, particularly on the iron d z 2 orbital, which is expected to affect the binding of ligands greatly.
