(a) Definition of CrI₃ ribbon structures with zigzag and armchair edges. Arrows in red and blue show periodic axial directions of ZZ and AC ribbons, respectively. Dashed lines with numbers define the width index n_W. (b) The n_W dependence of formation enthalpy Δ H of both ZZNR and ACNR, Δ H is defined in Eqs. (3) and (4).
