Conductance fluctuation is usually unavoidable in graphene nanoribbons (GNR) due to the presence of disorder along its edges. By measuring the low-frequency noise in GNR devices, we find that the conductance fluctuation is strongly correlated with the density-of-states of GNR. In single-layer GNR, the gate-dependence of noise shows peaks whose positions quantitatively match the subband positions in the band structures of GNR. This correlation provides a robust mechanism to electrically probe the band structure of GNR, especially when the subband structures are smeared out in conductance measurement. 相似文献

The phenomenon of adiabatic quantum pump in double-barrier structures based on armchair graphene nanoribbons has been theoretically
analyzed within the framework of the tight binding approximation. An analytical expression for a bilinear response is obtained
that is valid at small Fermi energies. Using the effect of proximity to a ferromagnetic dielectric, it is possible to obtain
both electron and pure spin currents. Dependences of the generated electron and spin currents on the Fermi energy have been
numerically calculated. The validity of the adiabatic approximation is assessed based on the dwell time for electron travelling
through the system. 相似文献

The band structures of strained graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) are examined using a tight-binding Hamiltonian that is directly
related to the type and magnitude of strain. Compared to a two-dimensional graphene whose band gap remains close to zero even
if a large strain is applied, the band gap of a graphene nanoribbon (GNR) is sensitive to both uniaxial and shear strains.
The effect of strain on the electronic structure of a GNR depends strongly on its edge shape and structural indices. For an
armchair GNR, a weak uniaxial strain changes the band gap in a linear fashion, whereas a large strain results in periodic
oscillation of the band gap. On the other hand, shear strain always tends to reduce the band gap. For a zigzag GNR, the effect
of strain is to change the spin polarization at the edges of GNR, and thereby modulate the band gap. A simple analytical model,
which agrees with the numerical results, is proposed to interpret the response of the band gap to strain in armchair GNRs.

Reduced graphene oxide nanoribbon fibers were fabricated by using an electrophoretic self-assembly method without the use of any polymer or surfactant. We report electrical and field emission properties of the fibers as a function of reduction degree. In particular, the thermally annealed fiber showed superior field emission performance with a low potential for field emission (0.7?V?μm(-1)) and a giant field emission current density (400?A?cm(-2)). Moreover, the fiber maintains a high current level of 300?A?cm(-2) corresponding to 1?mA during long-term operation. 相似文献

We report a facile approach to synthesize narrow and long graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) by sonochemically cutting chemically
derived graphene sheets (GSs). The yield of GNRs can reach ∼5 wt% of the starting GSs. The resulting GNRs are several micrometers
in length, with ∼75% being single-layer, and ∼40% being narrower than 20 nm in width. A chemical tailoring mechanism involving
oxygen-unzipping of GSs under sonochemical conditions is proposed on the basis of experimental observations and previously
reported theoretical calculations; it is suggested that the formation and distribution of line faults on graphite oxide and
GSs play crucial roles in the formation of GNRs. These results open up the possibilities of the large-scale synthesis and
various technological applications of GNRs.

AbstractGraphene is a one-atom-thick layer of graphite, where low-energy electronic states are described by the massless Dirac fermion. The orientation of the graphene edge determines the energy spectrum of π-electrons. For example, zigzag edges possess localized edge states with energies close to the Fermi level. In this review, we investigate nanoscale effects on the physical properties of graphene nanoribbons and clarify the role of edge boundaries. We also provide analytical solutions for electronic dispersion and the corresponding wavefunction in graphene nanoribbons with their detailed derivation using wave mechanics based on the tight-binding model. The energy band structures of armchair nanoribbons can be obtained by making the transverse wavenumber discrete, in accordance with the edge boundary condition, as in the case of carbon nanotubes. However, zigzag nanoribbons are not analogous to carbon nanotubes, because in zigzag nanoribbons the transverse wavenumber depends not only on the ribbon width but also on the longitudinal wavenumber. The quantization rule of electronic conductance as well as the magnetic instability of edge states due to the electron–electron interaction are briefly discussed. 相似文献

We present a systematic density functional theory study of the electronic properties, optical spectra, and relative thermodynamic stability of semiconducting graphene nanoribbons. We consider ribbons with different edge nature including bare and hydrogen-terminated ribbons, several crystallographic orientations, and widths up to 3 nm. Our results can be extrapolated to wider ribbons providing a qualitative way of determining the electronic properties of ribbons with widths of practical significance. We predict that in order to produce materials with band gaps similar to Ge or InN, the width of the ribbons must be between 2 and 3 nm. If larger bang gap ribbons are needed (like Si, InP, or GaAs), their width must be reduced to 1-2 nm. According to the extrapolated inverse power law obtained in this work, armchair carbon nanoribbons of widths larger than 8 nm will present a maximum band gap of 0.3 eV, while for ribbons with a width of 80 nm the maximum possible band gap is 0.05 eV. For chiral nanoribbons the band gap oscillations rapidly vanish as a function of the chiral angle indicating that a careful design of their crystallographic nature is an essential ingredient for controlling their electronic properties. Optical excitations show important differences between ribbons with and without hydrogen termination and are found to be sensitive to the carbon nanoribbon width. This should provide a practical way of revealing information on their size and the nature of their edges. 相似文献

A tight-binding analytic framework is combined with first-principles calculations to reveal the mechanism underlying the strain
effects on electronic structures of graphene and graphene nanoribbons (GNRs). It provides a unified and precise formulation
of the strain effects under various circumstances-including the shift of the Fermi (Dirac) points, the change in band gap
of armchair GNRs with uniaxial strain in a zigzag pattern and its insensitivity to shear strain, and the variation of the
k-range of edge states in zigzag GNRs under uniaxial and shear strains which determine the gap behavior via the spin polarization
interaction.

An atomistic, spring-based, non-linear finite element method is implemented in order to predict the non-linear mechanical behavior of graphene nanoribbons. According this method, appropriate non-linear springs are utilized to simulate each interatomic interaction. Their force–displacement curve follows the relation between the first differentiation of the potential energy of the corresponding interaction-bond deformation. The potential which corresponds to the bond angle variation is simulated by a torsional spring, while the bond stretching is simulated by a uniaxial compression/extension spring. The linear approximation, commonly made in the literature for the bond angle bending interaction, is not followed here and thus the overall non-linear response of the specific interaction is accurately introduced into the model. Following the proposed formulation, the tensile uniaxial stress–strain behavior for various graphene nanoribbons, of zigzag as well as armchair orientation, arise. The results demonstrate that the linear and non-linear mechanical properties are strongly dependent on the structure as well as on the size of the graphene strip tested. 相似文献

In pristine graphene ribbons, disruption of the aromatic bond network results in depopulation of covalent orbitals and tends to elongate the edge, with an effective force of f e ~ 2 eV/Å (larger for armchair edges than for zigzag edges, according to calculations). This force can have quite striking macroscopic manifestations in the case of narrow ribbons, as it favors their spontaneous twisting, resulting in the parallel edges forming a double helix, resembling DNA, with a pitch t of about 15–20 lattice parameters. Through atomistic simulations, we investigate how the torsion τ ~ 1/λ t decreases with the width of the ribbon, and observe its bifurcation: the twist of wider ribbons abruptly vanishes and instead the corrugation localizes near the edges. The length-scale (λ e) of the emerging sinusoidal “frill” at the edge is fully determined by the intrinsic parameters of graphene, namely its bending stiffness D=1.5 eV and the edge force f e with λ e ~D/f e. Analysis reveals other warping configurations and suggests their sensitivity to the chemical passivation of the edges, leading to possible applications in sensors. 相似文献

In spite of its excellent electronic properties, the use of graphene in field-effect transistors is not practical at room temperature without modification of its intrinsically semimetallic nature to introduce a bandgap. Quantum confinement effects can create a bandgap in graphene nanoribbons, but existing nanoribbon fabrication methods are slow and often produce disordered edges that compromise electronic properties. Here, we demonstrate the self-organized growth of graphene nanoribbons on a templated silicon carbide substrate prepared using scalable photolithography and microelectronics processing. Direct nanoribbon growth avoids the need for damaging post-processing. Raman spectroscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and electrostatic force microscopy confirm that nanoribbons as narrow as 40 nm can be grown at specified positions on the substrate. Our prototype graphene devices exhibit quantum confinement at low temperatures (4 K), and an on-off ratio of 10 and carrier mobilities up to 2,700 cm(2) V(-1) s(-1) at room temperature. We demonstrate the scalability of this approach by fabricating 10,000 top-gated graphene transistors on a 0.24-cm(2) SiC chip, which is the largest density of graphene devices reported to date. 相似文献

Aligned graphene nanoribbon (GNR) arrays have been made by unzipping of aligned single-walled and few-walled carbon nanotube
(CNT) arrays. Nanotube unzipping was achieved by a polymer-protected Ar plasma etching method, and the resulting nanoribbon
array can be transferred onto any chosen substrate. Atomic force microscope (AFM) imaging and Raman mapping on the same CNTs
before and after unzipping confirmed that ˜80% of CNTs were opened up to form single layer sub-10 nm GNRs. Electrical devices
made from the GNRs (after annealing in H2 at high temperature) showed on/off current (I
on/I
off) ratios up to 103 at room temperature, suggesting the semiconducting nature of the narrow GNRs. Novel GNR-GNR and GNR-CNT crossbars were fabricated
by transferring GNR arrays across GNR and CNT arrays, respectively. The production of such ordered graphene nanoribbon architectures
may allow for large scale integration of GNRs into nanoelectronics or optoelectronics. 相似文献

Here we investigate high frequency AC transport through narrow graphene nanoribbons with top-gate potentials that form a localized quantum dot. We show that as a consequence of the finite dwell time of an electron inside the quantum dot (QD), the QD behaves like a classical inductor at sufficiently high frequencies ω ≥ GHz. When the geometric capacitance of the top-gate and the quantum capacitance of the nanoribbon are accounted for, the admittance of the device behaves like a classical serial RLC circuit with resonant frequencies ω ~ 100-900 GHz and Q-factors greater than 10(6). These results indicate that graphene nanoribbons can serve as all-electronic ultra-high frequency oscillators and filters, thereby extending the reach of high frequency electronics into new domains. 相似文献

A new composite material was prepared by incorporation of graphene nanoribbons into a dielectric host matrix. The composite possesses remarkably low loss at reasonably high permittivity values. By varying the content of the conductive filler, one can tune the loss and permittivity to desirable values over a wide range. The obtained data exemplifies how nanoscopic changes in the structure of conductive filler can affect macroscopic properties of composite material. 相似文献
