Metal-free spin and spin-gapless semiconducting heterobilayers: monolayer boron carbonitrides on hexagonal boron nitride

Metal-free spin and spin-gapless semiconducting heterobilayers: monolayer boron carbonitrides on hexagonal boron nitride

We show that the B4CN3/BN heterobilayer is a bipolar magnetic semiconductor while B3CN4/BN is a spin gapless semiconductor. The magnetic and spintronic properties of the two heterobilayers originate mainly from the 2pz electrons of the carbon atoms in the respective B4CN3 and B3CN4 layers.
