First-principles computations were performed to investigate the uniform bending effect on the electronic properties of armchair boron nitride nanoribbons (aBNNRs) with experimentally obtained width. For both bare and hydrogen-terminated aBNNRs, the band gaps only slightly depend on the uniform bending. The insensitivity of the band structures of BNNRs to the uniform bending makes them ideal materials when their wide band gap character is desired.

The band gaps in boron nitride/phosphorene (h-BN/P) heterostructures are investigated by single-atom-embedding via first principles calculations. The modified heterostructures are potential optoelectronic materials with tunable band gaps.

ABSTRACTWe investigate the electronic structure of interstitial Li and Li vacancy in Li7P3S11 by first principles calculations. We find that Li7P3S11 is a good insulator with a wide band gap of 3.5 eV. We find that the Li vacancy and interstitial Li+ ion do not introduce states in the band gap hence they do not deteriorate the electronic properties of Li7P3S11. The calculated formation energies of Li vacancies are much larger than those of Li interstitials, indicating that the ion conductivity may arise from the migration of interstitial Li.

Clarifying the electronic states and structures of the c-BN/diamond interface is of extreme importance for bundling these two different wide-band gap materials in order to synthesize hybrid structures with new functional properties.
