摘要
The effect of edge passivation on armchair BC3 ribbons is studied by first-principles calculations. The removal of passivating hydrogen from the edge boron atoms provides higher stability and makes the narrower ribbons metallic due to the enhanced pi-conjugation along the edge. However, an increase in the ribbon width results in an unprecedented metal-to-semiconductor transition.
