Atomically precise graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) have emerged as promising candidates for nanoelectronic applications due to their widely tunable energy band gaps resulting from lateral quantum confinement and edge effects. Here we report on…

In graphene nanoribbon junctions, the nearly perfect transmission occurs in some junctions while the zero conductance dips due to anti-resonance appear in others. We have classified the appearance of zero conductance dips for all…
