Abstract
Adjusting the electronic band structure of two-dimensional (2D) carbon-568 (C568) allotrope from indirect to direct can greatly expand its applications in photoelectric and optoelectronic fields. The electronic properties of C568 and the effects of surface functionalization are investigated by the first-principles density-functional theory calculations. The surface functionalization including hydrogenation/fluorination shows that the band gap of C568 can be tuned from indirect to direct under different H/F adsorption coverage. Meanwhile, the band gap of C568 is widened and the work function is enlarged gradually with the increasing coverage of H/F. The mechanism for such variation of electronic properties in C568 is analyzed by a detailed exploration of the electron charge density and wavefunction in this work.
