Abstract: In this work, first-principles calculations were used to study the effect of hydrogenation on the geometric structure and electronic structure of armchair germanene nanoribbons (AGeNRs). The stability, band structures and density of states were calculated, respectively. The changes of these parameters as a function of various band widths were studied. By increasing the width of the nanoribbons, the band gap size of AGeNRs decreases according to three different trends. Based on these trends, they can be divided into three categories, named N=3P, N=3P+1, and N=3P+2, where N is the number of germanium atoms in the width, and P is an integer. The study found that the stability of the bared edges of AGeNRs is low, and the hydrogenation treatment can improve the stability of the nanoribbons, and the double hydrogenation structure has the highest stability. Secondly, after the edge is modified with H atoms, the charge density is transferred, which changes the electronic and optical properties of the materials, indicating that the edge effect affects its electrical and optical properties. For bare edges and single hydrogenation methods, the band gap conforms to N=3P+2>N=3P>N=3P+1, while for double hydrogenation and single hydrogenation-double hydrogenation mixed structures, the band gap conforms to N=3P>N=3P+1>N=3P+2. Since the nanoribbons are all direct band gaps, it could be speculated that such AGeNRs may be suitable for optical applications, and their electronic and optical properties can be adjusted in a wide range by the width of the nanoribbons and the hydrogenation method.
