▎ 摘 要
Two dimensional graphene-based van der Waals heterostructures have attracted the interest of various researchers due to their unique properties. Based on the contact between metal electrodes and two dimensional materials has a substantial impact on the performance of electronic devices. The interfacial performance and Schottky contact performance with graphene and hexagonal boron phosphide (h-BP) vdW heterostructures are investigated using density functional theory calculations. We investigated eight energy-stable stacking configurations of multilayer graphene and h-BP vdW heterostructures. The different configurations of the h-BP/graphene vdW heterostructures all exhibit n-type Schottky contacts. The band structure of the h-BP in the heterostructures can be modulated under the influence of an external electric field (Efield), thus effectively manipulating the Schottky barrier height (SBH). The n-type SBH increases with the increasing positive Efield and eventually the contact transforms into an Ohmic contact, while the Schottky contact transition from n-type to ptype occurs under the negative Efield. The data demonstrate that modulating the electronic properties of hexagonal boron phosphide/graphere (h-BP/Gr) vdW heterostructures with Efield is a promising approach, which can control the transition from Schottky to Ohmic contacts. The results can provide theoretical support for the design of controlled Schottky nanoelectronic devices.
