摘要
The physical mechanism for the electronic structures tuning and band gap opening of alpha-graphyne are investigated from the first principles calculations. The pathway of using B and N atoms to codope into graphyne is proposed. After codoping, B atom plays a role of hole doping and N atom acts as electron doping. In codoped graphyne, the Fermi energy returns around the Dirac point and a gap is introduced. Interestingly, the opened gaps oscillate periodically with the increasing distances between B and N atoms with the gap from 0.07 eV to 0.50 eV, which is caused by the breaking sublattice symmetry.
