摘要: We employ first-principles calculations to investigate the structural stability and electronic properties of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowires adsorbed with different chemical functional groups. The one hydrogen monolayer on surfaces both O Zn atoms maintain their bulklike geometries, whereas surface relaxation is found be significant for bare partially nanowires. While a half coverage an oxygen-adsorbed induces metallic behavior, adsorption full removes states from band gap render system well-defined gap, revising previous theoretical predictions metallicity in latter. On other hand, when all are saturated, either only or OH H groups, semiconducting behavior recovered. Our results open up possibility tailoring by controlling sites.
