Manifold electronic structure transition of hybrid silicane-silicene nanoribbons

- A- and Z-silicane nanoribbons (NRs) are studied by DFT.
- Structures of both A- and Z-hybrid silicane-silicene-NRs are studied.
- Band gaps of hybrid A-system can be separated into three different families.
- Gaps of hybrid Z-systems depend on the hydrogenation of Z-chains at the interface.
- The electronic and magnetic properties of the hybrid Z-system can be controlled.
