Abstract

In zero-gap semimetallic silicene, introducing a sizable band gap without degrading its high carrier mobility is vital to its application in optoelectronic devices. Herein, we design a novel atomically thin system based on silicene and arsenene nanocomposites (Si/As heterostructure), which could open a direct band gap of about 125 meV at the K point in silicene. Moreover, its band gap is linearly controllable over a wide range even with a semiconductor-metal transition by the external electric field (E
