Black phosphorene (BP)/carbon nanotube (CNT) heterostructures can be classified as either type I or II, depending on the size of the CNTs. An external electric field (E-ext) can modulate the interfacial electronic structures and separate the electron and hole carriers of the BP/CNT heterostructures. The giant Stark effect is observed, and the band gap of the semiconducting heterostructures can vary several-fold. The intercalation of 3d transition metals can strongly bond BP and CNTs together. Furthermore, strong ferromagnetism with Curie temperature (T-C) above room temperature is predicted. It is expected that these BP/CNT heterostructures will provide new opportunities and applications in the fields of optoelectronics and electronics as well as spintronics.
