The electronic transport properties of oligo p-phenylenevinylene (OPV) molecule sandwiched with symmetrical or asymmetric tailoring graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) electrodes are investigated by nonequilibrium Green’s function in combination with density functional theory. The results show that different tailored GNRs electrodes can modulate the current–voltage characteristic of molecular devices. The rectifying behavior can be observed with respect to electrodes, and the maximum rectification ratio can reach to 14.2 in the asymmetric AC–ZZ GNRs and ZZ–AC–ZZ GNRs electrodes system. In addition, the obvious negative differential resistance can be observed in the symmetrical AC-ZZ GNRs system.

ABSTRACTIn this study, we investigated the influence of line defects consisting of pentagon-heptagon (5-7) pairs on the electronic transport properties of zigzag-edged and armchair-edged graphene nanoribbons (GNRs). Using the first-principles density functional theory, we study their electronic properties. To investigate their current-voltage (I-V) characteristics at low bias voltage (∼ 1 meV), we use the nonequilibrium Green’s function method. As a result, we found that the conductance of the GNRs having a connected line defect between source and drain shows better performance than that of the ideal zigzag-edged GNRs (ZGNRs). A detailed investigation of the transmission spectra and the wave function around the Fermi level reveals that the line defects arranged along the transport direction work similar to an edge state of the ZGNRs and can be an additional conduction channel. Our results suggest that such a line defect can be effective for low-resistance GNR interconnects.

By using the first-principles density functional theory combining with the nonequilibrium Green’s function techniques, we investigate the electronic structure and the spin-polarization-dependent electronic transport of zigzag graphene nanoribbons (ZGNR) with a defect of vacancy. The total energy of the graphene ribbons corresponding to different vacancy locations is calculated to analyze the stability of the structures. It is found that the existence of a vacancy causes a significant change in the electronic band gap. The electronic band and the transport become spin-polarization-dependent. The calculated I–V characteristic shows that the spin-polarization-dependent effect can be enhanced under a finite bias voltage.
