The electronic structures and magnetic properties of stanene nanoribbons (SnNRs) were studied using first-principle calculations, considering the spin-orbit coupling (SOC) effects and edge passivation. The results show that all considered armchair SnNRs are nonmagnetic semiconductors with gap values as a periodic oscillation function of ribbon width. The zigzag SnNRs present the antiferromagnetic ground states with opposite spin order between the two edges, and the gaps decrease as the ribbon…

Energy gaps in graphene nanoribbons.
TLDR
The authors' ab initio calculations show that the origin of energy gaps for GNRs with armchair shaped edges arises from both quantum confinement and the crucial effect of the edges, which differs from the results of simple tight-binding calculations or solutions of the Dirac's equation based on them.

Electronic structure and stability of semiconducting graphene nanoribbons.
TLDR
According to the extrapolated inverse power law obtained in this work, armchair carbon nanoribbons of widths larger than 8 nm will present a maximum band gap of 0.3 eV, while for ribbons with a width of 80 nm the maximum possible band gap is 0.05 eV.

TLDR
It is demonstrated that silicene with topologically nontrivial electronic structures can realize the quantum spin Hall effect (QSHE) by exploiting adiabatic continuity and the direct calculation of the Z(2) topological invariant.
Electronic and magnetic properties of pristine and chemically functionalized germanene nanoribbons.
TLDR
The study reveals that a single N or B atom substitution induces a semiconducting-metal transition in armchair oriented germanene nanoribbons (AGeNRs) as evidenced by the appearance of a half-filled band with less dispersion; however, N and B co-doping at the ribbon edges only modifies their band gaps, due to the accomplishment of an effective charge compensation.
