• The electronic and transport properties of a series of 11-ASiNRs (armchair silicene nanoribbons) at different torsion angles were studied by using density functional theory combined with nonequilibrium Green's function method. Several key factors determining the transport properties, such as the electron transmission coefficient and band structure, have been discussed. The interesting results suggest that the transport properties of ASiNRs are insensitive to the torsional silicene nanoribbon configuration in the scattering region. With the increase of the torsion angle, the transmission coefficient is still well maintained within the limits of the torsion angle. Although the torsion angle is increased to 120°, the current dropped by just 22% compared to the initial 11-ASiNRs at a torsion angle of 0°. Furthermore, all the configurations of 11-ASiNRs in this study behave as conventional conductors with nearly linear current–voltage dependence. On the basis of these distinctive transport properties with metabolic structure, ASiNRs present potential promising applications in silicon-based electronic nanodevices.
