چکیده
Abstract Graphene nanoribbons synthesized using bottom-up approaches can be structured with atomic precision, allowing their physical properties to precisely controlled. For applications in quantum technology, the manipulation of single charges, spins or photons is required. However, achieving this at level graphene experimentally challenging due difficulty contacting individual nanoribbons, particularly on-surface ones. Here we report and electrical characterization a multigate device architecture single-walled carbon nanotubes as electrodes. The approach relies on self-aligned nature both nanotubes, which have diameters small 1 nm, nanoribbon growth respective substrates. resulting nanoribbon–nanotube devices exhibit transport phenomena—including Coulomb blockade, excited states vibrational origin Franck–Condon blockade—that indicate nanoribbons.

Carbon: Crystalline Graphene Nanoribbons
We report the use of chemical vapor deposition (CVD) for the bulk production (grams per day) of long, thin, and highly crystalline graphene ribbons (<20-30 μm in length) exhibiting widths of 20-300 nm and small thicknesses (2-40 layers). These layers usually exhibit perfect ABAB... stacking as in graphite crystals. The structure of the ribbons has been carefully characterized by several techniq...
متن کاملFlexible, transparent single-walled carbon nanotube transistors with graphene electrodes.
This paper reports a mechanically flexible, transparent thin film transistor that uses graphene as a conducting electrode and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) as a semiconducting channel. These SWNTs and graphene films were printed on flexible plastic substrates using a printing method. The resulting devices exhibited a mobility of ∼ 2 cm(2) V(-1) s -1), On/Off ratio of ∼ 10(2), transmitt...
متن کاملTwisting graphene nanoribbons into carbon nanotubes
Although carbon nanotubes consist of honeycomb carbon, they have never been fabricated from graphene directly. Here, it is shown by quantum molecular-dynamics simulations and classical continuum-elasticity modeling, that graphene nanoribbons can, indeed, be transformed into carbon nanotubes by means of twisting. The chiralities of the tubes thus fabricated can be not only predicted but also ext...
متن کاملSpin-polarized transport through a zigzag-edge graphene flake embedded between two armchair nanoribbons electrodes
We study the coherent spin-polarized transport through a zigzag-edge graphene flake (ZGF), using Hubbard model in the nearest neighbor approximation within the framework of the Green function’s technique and Landauer formalism. The system considered consists of electrode/ (ZGF)/electrode, in which the electrodes are chosen to be armchair nanoribbons. The study was performed for two types of ele...
متن کاملMultiple helical configuration and quantity threshold of graphene nanoribbons inside a single-walled carbon nanotube
Molecular dynamics simulation has been carried out to explore the configuration and quantity threshold of multiple graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) in single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT). The simulation results showed that several GNRs tangled together to form a perfect spiral structure to maximize the π-π stacking area when filling inside SWCNT. The formation of multiple helical configuration is ...
