Abstract: | The structural and electronic properties of synergistically modified blue phosphorene (BP) is investigated. The inversion and threefold rotational symmetries of BP are broken. The codoping of group IV and VI impurities can turn monolayer BP into direct bandgap semiconductors. The underlying physical mechanism is that group IV and VI impurities tailor the valence band maximum and conduction band minimum, respectively, and move them to Γ. All the bandgaps of monolayer, nanoribbons, and quantum dots of BP can be modulated in a wide range, and the strong bandgap bowing is found. In addition, the Coulomb interactions between the screened impurities are revealed. Lower formation energies indicate the fabricating practicability of synergeticly modified BP. Spin–orbit coupling (SOC) can also be tuned by the introduction of impurities. |
