Existence of multi-radical and closed-shell semiconducting states in post-graphene organic Dirac materials
The lack of band gap controllability in graphene severely restricts its use in nanoelectronics. Here, the authors predict that post-graphene organic Dirac materials should allow for exceptional electronic tunability between graphene-like semimetallicity and multi-radical and/or closed-shell semicond...

Summary: | The lack of band gap controllability in graphene severely restricts its use in nanoelectronics. Here, the authors predict that post-graphene organic Dirac materials should allow for exceptional electronic tunability between graphene-like semimetallicity and multi-radical and/or closed-shell semiconducting states. |
