Abstract

A new class of two-dimensional carbon-based materials, N-carbophenes, is studied using tight binding density functional theory. The present study addresses the influence of strain on band gap opening for N-Carbophenes where 3 <= N <= 9. We found that both uniaxial and biaxial strains can lead to significant changes in the electronic structure of N-carbophenes. One unexpected effect was the existence of a maximum value for the band gaps for strains in the range 13% <= epsilon <= 15% and that increasing.. above that range can cause a reduction in the band gap. The origin of the band gap openings is due to the stretching of C-C bonds in the N-carbophene 4-member rings. (AU)
