Origin of observed narrow bandgap of mica nanosheets

Abstract Mica nanosheets possess peculiar feature of narrowed bandgap with the decrease of thickness but a conclusive theoretical understanding of the narrowing mechanisms is still under development. In this report, first-principles calculations were carried out to investigate the electronic band st...
