Trapped modes in zigzag graphene nanoribbons
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the scattering on an ultra-low potential in zigzag graphene nanoribbon. Using a mathematical framework based on the continuous Dirac model and the augmented scattering matrix, we derive a condition for the existence of a trapped mode. We consider the threshold energies where the continuous spectrum changes its multiplicity and show that the trapped modes may appear for energies slightly less than a threshold and that its multiplicity does not exceeds one. We prove that trapped modes do not appear outside the threshold, provided the potential is sufficiently small. Mathematics Subject Classification. 35P30, 47A10, 47A40.

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...
متن کاملVibrational Tamm states at the edges of graphene nanoribbons
We study vibrational states localized at the edges of graphene nanoribbons. Such surface oscillations can be considered as a phonon analog of Tamm states in the electronic theory. We consider both armchair and zigzag graphene stripes and demonstrate that surface modes correspond to phonons localized at the edges of the graphene nanoribbon, and they can be classified as in-plane and out-of-plane...
متن کاملElectronic transport properties of graphene nanoribbons
We will present brief overview on the electronic and transport properties of graphene nanoribbons focusing on the effect of edge shapes and impurity scattering. The low-energy electronic states of graphene have two non-equivalent massless Dirac spectrum. The relative distance between these two Dirac points in the momentum space and edge states due to the existence of the zigzag type graphene ed...
متن کاملDirac spectra and edge states in honeycomb plasmonic lattices.
We study theoretically the dispersion of plasmonic honeycomb lattices and find Dirac spectra for both dipole and quadrupole modes. Zigzag edge states derived from Dirac points are found in ribbons of these honeycomb plasmonic lattices. The zigzag edge states for out-of-plane dipole modes are closely analogous to the electronic ones in graphene nanoribbons. The edge states for in-plane dipole mo...
متن کاملKohn anomalies in graphene nanoribbons
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, wh...
