文摘We study electrical modulation of transport properties of silicene nanoconstrictions with different geometrical structures.We investigate the effects of the position and width of the central scattering region on the conductance with increasing Fermi energy.It is found that the conductance significantly depends on the position and the width of the nanoconstriction.Interestingly,the symmetrical structure of the central constriction region can induce a resonance effect and significantly increase the system’s conductance.We also propose a novel two-channel structure with an excellent performance on the conductance compared to the one-channel structure with the same total width.Such geometrically-induced conductance modulation of silicene nanostructures can be achieved in practice via current nanofabrication technology.
