Energy band-gap engineering of graphene nanoribbons.
We investigate electronic transport in lithographically patterned graphene ribbon structures where the lateral confinement of charge carriers creates an energy gap near the charge neutrality point. Individual graphene layers are contacted with metal electrodes and patterned into ribbons of varying widths and different crystallographic orientations. The temperature dependent conductance measurem...
متن کاملTransport Gap Engineering in Zigzag Graphene Nanoribbons
Graphene, a recently discovered form of carbon, has received much attention over the past few years due to its excellent electrical, optical, and thermal properties [1]. With an extraordinary carrier mobility and high current density [2], graphene's application in electronic devices is promising. As a zero bandgap material, pristine graphene cannot be used as a semi-conducting channel in transi...
متن کاملAligning the band gap of graphene nanoribbons by monomer doping.
Silicon-based field-effect transistors (FETs) are the building blocks of modern digital logic circuitry and therefore part of virtually every electronic device available today. Over the past decades, continuous downscaling of existing designs has met the rising performance requirements, but as the size of FETs approaches the regime of atomic structures, new concepts are required to maintain the...
متن کاملToward Cove-Edged Low Band Gap Graphene Nanoribbons
Graphene nanoribbons (GNRs), defined as nanometer-wide strips of graphene, have attracted increasing attention as promising candidates for next-generation semiconductors. Here, we demonstrate a bottom-up strategy toward novel low band gap GNRs (Eg = 1.70 eV) with a well-defined cove-type periphery both in solution and on a solid substrate surface with chrysene as the key monomer. Corresponding ...
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...
