Kohn anomalies in graphene nanoribbons

چکیده
The quantum corrections to the energies of the point optical phonon modes Kohn anomalies in graphene nanoribbons NRs are investigated. We show theoretically that the longitudinal optical LO modes undergo a Kohn anomaly effect, while the transverse optical TO modes do not. In relation to Raman spectroscopy, we show that the longitudinal optical modes are not Raman active near the zigzag edge, while the transverse optical modes are not Raman active near the armchair edge. These results are useful for identifying the orientation of the edge of graphene nanoribbons by G band Raman spectroscopy, as is demonstrated experimentally. The differences in the Kohn anomalies for nanoribbons and for metallic single-wall nanotubes are pointed out, and our results are explained in terms of pseudospin effects.

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...

The structural and electronic properties of the hydrogenated porous graphene nanoribbons were studied by using density functional theory calculations. The results show that the hydrogenated porous graphene nanoribbons are energetically stable. The effects of ribbon type and ribbon width on the electronic properties of these nanoribbons were investigated. It was found that both armchair and zigz...

Abstract: In this study, using density functional theory and the SIESTA computationalcode, we investigate the electronic and optical properties of the armchair graphenenanoribbons and the armchair boron nitride nanoribbons of width 25 in the presence of atransverse external electric field. We have observed that in the absence of the electricfield, these structures are se...
متن کاملChirality-induced dynamic kohn anomalies in graphene.
We develop a theory for the renormalization of the phonon energy dispersion in graphene due to the combined effects of both Coulomb and electron-phonon (e-ph) interactions. We obtain the renormalized phonon energy spectrum by an exact analytic derivation of the phonon self-energy, finding three distinct Kohn anomalies (KAs) at the phonon wave vector q=omega/v, 2k_{F}+/-omega/v for LO phonons an...
