Title
Effect of chemical modification on electronic transport properties of carbyne
Author
Abstract
Using density functional theory in combination with the Green's functional formalism, we study the effect of surface functionalization on the electronic transport properties of 1D carbon allotrope-carbyne. We found that both hydrogenation and fluorination result in structural changes and semiconducting to metallic transition. Consequently, the current in the functionalization systems increases significantly due to strong delocalization of electronic states along the carbon chain. We also study the electronic transport in partially hydrogenated carbyne and interface structures consisting of pristine and functionalized carbyne. In the latter case, current rectification is obtained in the system with rectification ratio up to 50%. These findings can be useful for developing carbyne-based structures with tunable electronic transport properties.
