摘要
Using first-principles total-energy calculations within the framework of the density functional theory, we show that nanometer-scale trenches excavated in GaN with (0001) and (000 (1) over bar) surfaces cause a variable electrostatic potential difference, which is tunable by controlling the hydrogen coverage of the surfaces. A positive potential difference of 3.53V is induced between clean (0001) and (000 (1) over bar) surfaces in nanotrenches, while a negative potential difference of % 5.93V is induced in nanotrenches with fully hydrogenated surfaces. The value of the potential difference strongly depends on the H coverage of the surfaces. Nanotrenches excavated in GaN with polar surfaces can supply electricity for various nanoscale devices consisting of molecules, clusters, and atoms inserted into the trenches.
