Magnetism in Zigzag and Armchair CuO Nanoribbons: Ab Initio Analysis

Physics of the Solid State volume 63, pages279–285(2021)Cite this article

Abstract

The present work reports the magnetism analysis of zigzag and armchair forms of CuO nanoribbons by using density functional theory (DFT)-based ab initio approach. The structural stability has been confirmed through the binding energy calculation. The electronic and magnetic properties have been analyzed as a function of varied width of CuO nanoribbons, interesting information for variety of applications. The metallic and ferromagnetic behaviors of CuO nanoribbons are observed, whereas its bulk counterpart shows a p-type semiconducting and antiferromagnetic nature. The computed magnetic moments for the zigzag and armchair forms of CuO nanoribbon are in the ranges of 0.19–0.61 μB and 0.24–0.97 μB, respectively. The computed spin polarizations confirms the half or full metallic ferromagnetic nature of these nanoribbons.
