Sensing behavior of various gas molecules adsorbed on Fe-doped and bare antimonene armchair nanoribbon
Source abstract
Abstract
First-principles calculations, using density functional theory, have been studied to investigate the sensing of NO2, NO, N2, CO2, CO, O2, NH3 and SO2 gases on bare and Fe-doped antimonene armchair nanoribbons (Fe-doped ASbNRs). The sensing behaviors of these gases on bare and Fe-doped ASbNRs have been analyzed in terms of band structure, the density of states, adsorption energy, charge transfer, magnetic moments and I–V characteristics. We showed that doping the magnetic Fe atom increases the sensing ability of antimonene nanoribbon where the gas molecules are chemisorption on Fe-doped ASbNR. This chemisorption induces dramatic change in the adsorption energy and electronic structures, and injects magnetic moments into the nanoribbon system. The NO molecule depicts the tightest binding in the Fe-doped ASbNRs. Charge transfer analysis of adsorbates demonstrates that all gas molecules, except NO, NH3 and CO are electron donors to nanoribbon. Transport properties of Fe-doped ASbNRs transistor, display desirable I–V characteristics and spin filter efficiency for the NO2, N2, and NH3 gases. These two-dimensional systems may possess the potential in the promising application of gas sensing.
