Zigzag phosphorene antidot nanoribbons (ZPANRs) for the detection of nucleobases: A DFT based study

In this work, we have investigated the potential of zigzag phosphorene antidot nanoribbons (ZPANRs) for biosensing applications. ZPANRs were created from the optimized structures of phosphorene nanoribbons by using a density functional theory tool. Utilizing the generalized gradient approximation ha...
