Zigzag phosphorene nanoribbons: one-dimensional resonant channels in two-dimensional atomic crystals

We theoretically investigate phosphorene zigzag nanoribbons as a platform for constriction engineering. In the presence of a constriction at one of the edges, quantum confinement of edge-protected states reveals conductance peaks, if the edge is uncoupled from the other edge. If the constriction is...
