The band calculation and local state analysis for armchair graphene-like nanoribbons with line defects

چکیده
In this paper we propose an analytical method to calculate the band structures of graphene-like nanoribbons of the armchair type with arbitrary line defects or uniaxial strains. The model is based on the tight-binding model and the standing wave assumption for the armchair nanoribbons. It gives accurate band results for large supercell systems. Within this method, we analyze different local states near the line defect in the graphene and boron-nitride nanoribbons. We also derive the analytical expression for the local states in a semi-infinite graphene nanoribbon by this method and the transfer matrix technique. The criteria condition for the local states in the semi-infinite nanoribbons is also given.

Spin-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...

We investigate the combined influence of structural defects and uniaxial longitudinal strain on the electronic transport properties of armchair graphene nanoribbons using the numerical approach based on the semiempirical tight-binding model, the Landauer formalism, and the recursion method for Green functions.
