Transport Gap Engineering in Zigzag Graphene Nanoribbons
Graphene, a recently discovered form of carbon, has received much attention over the past few years due to its excellent electrical, optical, and thermal properties [1]. With an extraordinary carrier mobility and high current density [2], graphene's application in electronic devices is promising. As a zero bandgap material, pristine graphene cannot be used as a semi-conducting channel in transi...
متن کاملDisorder-induced gap behavior in graphene nanoribbons
We study the transport properties of graphene nanoribbons of standardized 30 nm width and varying lengths. We find that the extent of the gap observed in transport as a function of Fermi energy in these ribbons the “transport gap” does not have a strong dependence on ribbon length, while the extent of the gap as a function of source-drain voltage the “source-drain gap” increases with increasing...
متن کاملEnergy band-gap engineering of graphene nanoribbons.
We investigate electronic transport in lithographically patterned graphene ribbon structures where the lateral confinement of charge carriers creates an energy gap near the charge neutrality point. Individual graphene layers are contacted with metal electrodes and patterned into ribbons of varying widths and different crystallographic orientations. The temperature dependent conductance measurem...
متن کاملAlignment of graphene nanoribbons by an electric-field
In this paper, we develop an analytical approach to predict the field-induced alignment of cantilevered graphene nanoribbons. This approach is validated through molecular simulations using a constitutive atomic electrostatic model. Our results reveal that graphene’s field-oriented bending angle is roughly proportional to the square of field strength or the graphene length for small deformations...
متن کاملTunable transport gap in narrow bilayer graphene nanoribbons
The lack of a bandgap makes bulk graphene unsuitable for room temperature transistors with a sufficient on/off current ratio. Lateral constriction of charge carriers in graphene nanostructures or vertical inversion symmetry breaking in bilayer graphene are two potential strategies to mitigate this challenge, but each alone is insufficient to consistently achieve a large enough on/off ratio (e.g...
