One of the ways to use graphene in field effect transistors is to introduce a band gap by quantum confinement effect [1]. That is why narrow graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) with width less than 50nm are considered to be essential components in…

Topological design of pi-electrons in zigzag-edged graphene nanoribbons (ZGNRs) leads to a wealth of magnetic quantum phenomena and exotic quantum phases. Symmetric ZGNRs typically exhibit antiferromagnetically coupled spin-ordered edge…

Coulomb blockade is observed in a graphene nanoribbon device with a top gate. When two pn junctions are formed via the back gate and the local top gate, electrons are confined between the pn junctions which act as the barriers. When no pn…
