Regulation of ferromagnetism and electronic structure in PtSe2 nanostructures has attracted much attention because of its potential in spintronics. The magnetic and optical properties of PtSe2 nanoribbons with different edge reconstruction and external deformations are calculated by density function theory. In 1 T phase PtSe2 nanoribbons, the ferromagnetism induced by spin polarization of exposed Pt or Se atoms is decreased with the reducing nanoribbon width. For smaller nanoribbon, the magnetism can be regulated by external strain more easily. However, the magnetism cannot occur in 1 H phase PtSe2 nanoribbon. The absorption spectra are suggested to identify the nanoribbon structural changes in detail. Our results suggest the use of edge reconstruction and strain engineering in spintronics applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
