متن کاملConductance quantization in graphene nanoribbons: Adiabatic approximation
A theory of electron states for graphene nanoribbons with a smoothly varying width is developed. It is demonstrated that the standard adiabatic approximation allowing to neglect the mixing of different standing waves is more restrictive for the massless Dirac fermions in graphene than for the conventional electron gas. In general, one can expect a well-pronounced conductance quantization only f...
متن کاملElectron transport in disordered graphene nanoribbons.
We report an electron transport study of lithographically fabricated graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) of various widths and lengths. At the charge neutrality point, a length-independent transport gap forms whose size is inversely proportional to the GNR width. In this gap, electrons are localized, and charge transport exhibits a transition between thermally activated behavior at higher temperatures ...
متن کاملDirac point resonances due to atoms and molecules adsorbed on graphene and transport gaps and conductance quantization in graphene nanoribbons with covalently bonded adsorbates
We present a tight-binding theory of the Dirac point resonances due to adsorbed atoms and molecules on an infinite two-dimensional graphene sheet based on the standard tight-binding model of the graphene π -band electronic structure and the extended Hückel model of the adsorbate and nearby graphene carbon atoms. The relaxed atomic geometries of the adsorbates and graphene are calculated using d...
متن کاملEnergy gaps in graphene nanoribbons.
Based on a first-principles approach, we present scaling rules for the band gaps of graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) as a function of their widths. The GNRs considered have either armchair or zigzag shaped edges on both sides with hydrogen passivation. Both varieties of ribbons are shown to have band gaps. This differs from the results of simple tight-binding calculations or solutions of the Dirac's...
