(color online) The band structures of nZZ-BPNR with Nw = 20 under five types of electric field configuration. Here the strengths of gate voltages on different regions are VGA = 0.50 eV, VGB = —0.50 eV, and VGC = 0.50 eV in panel (e) for the fifth type. The black vertical arrows denote the four low-energy transitions at the Г point.
