The Magnetic Properties of Zigzag Boron Carbon Carbon Nitride Nanoribbon

Recently, substantial theoretical and experimental efforts have been made in the quest to find the candidates for future spintronic devices. Two-dimensional graphene-based structures have attracted much attention in the search for new spintronic materials due to some theoretical predictions that this type of materials show the half-metallic property. Here we present the results of an ab-initio self consistent density functional theory within a generalized gradient approximation of zigzag Boron Carbon Carbon Nitride Nanoribbon (ZBC2NNR). The result of our calculations shows different magnetic orderings. In general, however, we found that narrow ZBC2NNR prefers a magnetic state which depends on the shape and the orientation of the atoms on its edges.
