▎ 摘  要

In this work, we show that the magnetic phase transition in both semiconducting and metallic armchair graphene nanoribbons would be observed in the presence of electronic dopant. However, the mutual interactions between electrons are also considered based on theoretically tight-binding and Hubbard model calculations considering nearest neighbors within the framework of Green's function technique. This work showed that charge concentration of dopant in such system depending on the weak and strong mutual repulsions plays a crucial role in determining the magnetic phase. It follows from the obtained results that the ground state turns paramagnetic in a range of carrier concentrations by neglecting the electronic correlations. The inclusion of a Coulombic repulsion between electrons stops the phase transition and system remains in its ground state antiferromagnetic phase. Furthermore, we concluded that magnetic phases are insensitive to the electron-electron interaction at all weak and strong concentrations of dopant. In addition, this paper provides a controllable gap engineering by doping and inclusion of electron-electron repulsions for further studies on such system as a new potential nanomaterial for magnetic graphene nanoribbon-based applications.
