Defective ASiNRs are found to exhibit the strongest adsorption of all resulting in higher current as well. The findings are suggestive of defective and Al-doped ASiNRs being more suitable as sensors for NH 3 owing to the strong adsorption and large charge transfer of the gas molecule with these ASiNR variants whereas NH 3 exhibits physisorption on pristine and P-doped ASiNRs possessing minimal adsorption energy and charge transfer as well. NH 3 gas molecule exhibits stronger adsorption on ASiNRs with addition of defect and dopants. It has been observed that though the pristine ASiNR is not much sensitive to this gas molecule, but its sensitivity can be drastically enhanced by introducing defects and dopants. pristine, defective, Al-doped, and P-doped. Different variants of ASiNR have been considered viz. Using density functional theory (DFT) and non-equilibrium Green’s function (NEGF) formalism, the electronic and transport properties of ammonia (NH 3) molecule adsorbed on armchair silicene nanoribbons (ASiNRs) are calculated.
