: Electron transport properties in an armchair graphene nanoribbon are theoretically investigated by considering the presence of line defect. It is found that the line defect causes the abundant Fano effects and bound state in continuum (BIC) in the electron transport process, which are tightly dependent on the width of the nanoribbon. By plotting the spectra of the density of electron states o...

We present a microscopic theory for interacting graphene armchair nanoribbon quantum dots. Long-range interaction processes are responsible for Coulomb blockade and spin-charge separation. Short-range ones, arising from the underlying honeycomb lattice of graphene smear the spin-charge separation and induce exchange correlations between bulk electrons —delocalized on the ribbon— and single elec...

We study edge states in AB-stacked bilayer graphene (BLG) ribbon where the Chern number of corresponding two-dimensional (2D) bulk Hamiltonian is zero. The existence and topological features when two layers ended with same or different terminations (zigzag, bearded, armchair) are discussed. (non-dispersive bands near Fermi level) localized at nanoribbon that only exists certain range momentum $...

abstract: this paper is the first study on the impact of ambient temperature on the electrical characteristics and high frequency performances of double gate armchair graphene nanoribbon field effect transistor (gnrfet). the results illustrate that the gnrfet under high temperature (ht-gnrfet) has the highest cut-off frequency, lowest sub-threshold swing, lowest intrinsic delay and power delay ...

Graphene can be transformed from a semimetal into a semiconductor if it is confined into nanoribbons narrower than 10 nm with controlled crystallographic orientation and well-defined armchair edges. However, the scalable synthesis of nanoribbons with this precision directly on insulating or semiconducting substrates has not been possible. Here we demonstrate the synthesis of graphene nanoribbon...

The creation of magnetic storage devices by decoration of a graphene sheet by magnetic transition-metal adatoms, utilizing the high in-plane versus out-of-plane magnetic anisotropy energy (MAE), has recently been proposed. This concept is extended in our density-functional-based modeling study by incorporating the influence of the graphene edge on the MAE. We consider triangular graphene flakes...

Change in the bonding environment at the free edges of graphene monolayer leads to excess edge energy and edge force, depending on the edge morphology zigzag or armchair . By using a reactive empirical bond-order potential and atomistic simulations, we show that the excess edge energy in free-standing graphene nanoribbons can be partially relaxed by both in-plane and out-of-plane deformation. T...

The transmission properties of armchair graphene nanoribbon junctions between graphene electrodes are investigated by means of first-principles quantum transport calculations. First the dependence of the transmission function on the size of the nanoribbon has been studied. Two regimes are highlighted: for a small applied bias transport takes place via tunneling and the length of the ribbon is t...

We study the conductance through two types of graphene nanostructures: nanoribbon junctions in which the width changes from wide to narrow, and curved nanoribbons. In the wide-narrow structures, substantial reflection occurs from the wide-narrow interface, in contrast to the behavior of the much studied electron gas waveguides. In the curved nanoribbons, the conductance is very sensitive to det...
