Edge and substrate-induced bandgap in zigzag graphene nanoribbons on the hexagonal nitride boron 8-ZGNR/h-BN(0001)

The results of DFT (GGA-PBEsol) and DFT(PBE)-D2 study of the band structure of zigzag graphene nanoribbons on hexagonal nitride boron 8-ZGNR/h-BN(0001) are presented, suitable as potential base for new materials for spintronics. It offers a study of regularities in the changes of the valence band el...
