Zigzag Graphene Nanoribbons

Density-functional theory (DFT) in combination with the nonequilibrium Green’s function formalism is used to study the effect of substitutional doping on the electronic transport properties of V-shaped edge distorted zigzag graphene nanoribbons (DZGNRs), in which DZGNRs with the various widths of four-, six-, and eight-zigzag chains are passivated by H atoms. In this work, Si atoms are used to substitute carbon atoms located at the center of the samples. Our calculated results have determined that Si can change the material type by the number of dopants. We found that the transmission spectrum strongly depends on the various widths. The width of eight-zigzag chains exhibits the largest transmission among four- and six-zigzag chains, and the single Si substitution presents larger transmission than the double case. The obtained results are explained in terms of electron localization in the system due to the presence of distortion at edge and impurities. The relationships between the transmission spectrum, the device density of states, and the I-V curves indicate that DZGNRs are the highly potential material for electronic nanodevices.

Zigzag Graphene Nanoribbons

ABSTRACT The electronic and transport properties of graphene nanoribbons strongly depends on different types of adatoms. Oxygen as adatom on graphene is expected to resemble oxidized graphene sheets and enable in understanding their transport properties. Here, we report the transport properties of oxygen adsorbed zigzag edge saturated graphene nanoribbon. It is interesting to note that increasing the number of oxygen adatoms on graphene sheets lift the spin degeneracy as observed in the transmission profile of graphene nanoribbons. The relative orientation of the oxygen atom on the graphene basal plane is detrimental to flow of spin current in the nanoribbon.

Zigzag Graphene Nanoribbons

Influences of the symmetric Stone-Wales (SW) defect on the electronic transport properties of the zigzag graphene nanoribbons (ZGNRs) has been studied using $\it{ab}$ $\it{ initio}$ simulation based on density functional theory (DFT) combined with non-equilibrium Green's function (NEGF) technique. The calculated transmission spectra T(E) at various bias windows, device densities of states (DDOS), current characteristics as well as local density of states (LDOS) of the defective asymmetric and symmetric ZGNRs are presented in comparison of those for the pristine ZGNRs. It has been established the metallic character of the electronic transport in asymmetric ZGNRs, and in symmetric ones, the current has a semiconductor behavior, with negative differential resistance (NDR) effect. Symmetric SW defect, as a most unfavorable SW defect type for electric conductance, remarkably decreases the current values, but does not change the character of conductivity in both the asymmetric and symmetric ZGNRs. NDR has been explained by the altering by SW defect the number of frontier molecular orbitals entering bias windows.
