Conductance of Armchair GNRs with side-attached organic molecules
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this work we show a theoretical study of the transport properties of armchair graphene nanoribbon at which linear poly-aromatic hydrocarbon molecules (LPHC) are side-attached on the ribbon edge. We describe the system by a tight-binding model and calculate the local density of states and the conductance within the Green’s function formalism. We found that the conductance curves reflect the energy spectra of the attached molecules, suggesting that AGNRs could be used as a spectrograph device. r 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Quantum transport in graphene nanoribbons patterned by metal masks
Graphene nanoribbons !GNRs" were fabricated by metal mask lithography and plasma etching. GNRs with width #20 nm show field-effect conductance modulation of #12 at room temperature and !106 at 4.2 K. Conductance quantization due to quantum confinement in low field transport was observed. Landauer formula was utilized to fit the experimental data and excellent agreement was obtained. The extract...
متن کاملTuning the band gap of graphene nanoribbons synthesized from molecular precursors.
A prerequisite for future graphene nanoribbon (GNR) applications is the ability to fine-tune the electronic band gap of GNRs. Such control requires the development of fabrication tools capable of precisely controlling width and edge geometry of GNRs at the atomic scale. Here we report a technique for modifying GNR band gaps via covalent self-assembly of a new species of molecular precursors tha...

The resulting gold nanorods encapsulated with perylene thiol molecules via strong covalent Au−S linkages showed unique...
متن کاملCorrelating Atomic Structure and Transport in Suspended Graphene Nanoribbons
Graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) are promising candidates for next generation integrated circuit (IC) components; this fact motivates exploration of the relationship between crystallographic structure and transport of graphene patterned at IC-relevant length scales (<10 nm). We report on the controlled fabrication of pristine, freestanding GNRs with widths as small as 0.7 nm, paired with simultaneou...
متن کاملNumerical Analysis of Shape Transition in Graphene Nanoribbons
Graphene nanoribbon (GNR) with free edges can exhibit non-flat morphologies due to preexisting edge stress. Using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, we investigate the freeedge effect on the shape transition in GNRs with different edge types, including regular (armchair and zigzag), armchair terminated with hydrogen and reconstructed armchair. The results show that initial edge stress and ene...
