摘要: Abstract The structure and electronic properties of Ge/SiC van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures under the influence normal strain have been investigated by first-principles method. Without a strain, system shows small band gap 126 meV. By applying monotonically decreases from to 0 meV. Our results reveal that compressive has much on bilayer. variations are owing different states Ge, Si, C atoms in conduction valence band. Moreover, electrons among vdW likely transfer germanene SiC monolayer due deeper potential monolayer. predicted tunable is very promising for its use nanodevices.
