Quantum conductance of graphene nanoribbons with edge defects

Open access
Li, T. C., Lu, Shao-Ping·2008·Physical Review B

Abstract

The conductance of metallic graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) with single defects and weak disorder at their edges is investigated in a tight-binding model. We find that a single edge defect will induce quasilocalized states and consequently cause zero-conductance dips. The center energies and breadths of such dips are strongly dependent on the geometry of GNRs. Armchair GNRs are more sensitive to a vacancy than zigzag GNRs, but are less sensitive to a weak scatter. More importantly, we find that with a weak disorder, zigzag GNRs will change from metallic to semiconducting due to Anderson localization. However, a weak disorder only slightly affects the conductance of armchair GNRs.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
