Nanographene and Graphene Nanoribbon Synthesis via Alkyne Benzannulations

Graphene nanoribbon heterojunctions and heterostructures

A graphene nanoribbon memory cell.

S D C1 C2 Over the past few years there has been a surge of interest in graphene, a recently isolated [ 1 ] one-atom-thick layer of carbon atoms arranged in a honeycomb lattice. From the application point of view this interest has mainly been driven by the high carrier mobility of graphene [ 2–4 ] which enables fabrication of fi eld-effect transistors (FETs) with much smaller channel resistance...

Half - metallic Armchair Graphene Nanoribbon

Submitted for the MAR10 Meeting of The American Physical Society Half-metallic Armchair Graphene Nanoribbon FUMIYUKI ISHII, KEISUKE SAWADA, MINEO SAITO, Kanazawa University — Among a variety of applications of graphenes, spintronics applications are considered to be hopeful. For an example, spin transport has been experimentally observed by using graphene layers [1]. There are two types of shap...

Phase coherent transport in graphene nanoribbons and graphene nanoribbon arrays

We have experimentally investigated quantum interference corrections to the conductivity of graphene nanoribbons at temperatures down to 20 mK studying both weak localization (WL) and universal conductance fluctuations (UCFs). Since in individual nanoribbons at milli-Kelvin temperatures the UCFs strongly mask the weak localization feature we employ both gate averaging and ensemble averaging to ...

Bends and splitters in graphene nanoribbon waveguides.

We investigate the performance of bends and splitters in graphene nanoribbon waveguides. Although the graphene waveguides are lossy themselves, we show that bends and splitters do not induce any additional loss provided that the nanoribbon width is sub-wavelength. We use transmission line theory to qualitatively interpret the behavior observed in our simulation. Our results pave a promising way...
