Electronic properties of armchair MoS₂ nanoribbons deposited with nanowires

Electronic properties of armchair MoS₂ nanoribbons with deposited nanowires are investigated using density-functional calculations. The pure armchair MoS₂ ribbon with 15 dimer lines has an energy gap around 0.5 eV and zero magnetic moment at the ribbon edge. The nanowire stacked on the ribbon modulates the energy bands near the Fermi level and induces different magnetic properties. Various stacking locations of the nanowires are also considered. The results may be useful for application in nanoelectronic devices.
