Electronic properties of hybrid graphane/boron nitride nanoribbons with hydrogen vacancies.

Electronic properties of hybrid graphane/boron nitride nanoribbons with hydrogen vacancies are investigated using density functional calculations. Two types of vacancies, line and chain, are studied. They reveal different electronic and magnetic properties. Formation of vacancies at different locations is also considered. Interaction between two separate chain vacancies within a graphane nanoribbon is also compared with that of a BN ribbon. The results should be useful for application in nanoelectronic devices. .
