We study the conductance of an interconnect between two graphene leads formed by a single-atom carbon chain. Its dependence on the chemical potential and the number of atoms in the chain is qualitatively different from that in the case of…

Because of its novel physical properties, two-dimensional materials have attracted great attention. From first-principle calculations and vibration frequenceis analysis, we predict a new family of two-dimensional materials based on the idea…

Graphene electronics has motivated much of graphene science for the past decade. A primary goal was to develop high mobility semiconducting graphene with a band gap that is large enough for high performance applications. Graphene ribbons…

A new kind of three-dimensional carbon allotropes, termed carbon honeycomb (CHC), has recently been synthesized [PRL 116, 055501 (2016)]. Based on the experimental results, a family of graphene networks are constructed, and their electronic…

Magneto-transport properties in closed and open loop structures are carefully reviewed within a tight-binding formalism. A novel mesoscopic phenomenon where a non-vanishing current is observed in a conducting loop upon the application of an…

We present a microscopic theory for interacting graphene armchair nanoribbon quantum dots. Long range interaction processes are responsible for Coulomb blockade and spin-charge separation. Short range ones, arising from the underlying…

Nanoribbons (nanographite ribbons) are carbon systems analogous to carbon nanotubes. We characterize a wide class of nanoribbons by a set of two integers $<p,q>$, and then define the width $w$ in terms of $p$ and $q$. Electronic properties…

A systematic study of the electronic properties of single layer Sb (antimonene) nanoribbons is presented. By using a 6-orbital tight-binding Hamiltonian, we study the electronic band structure of finite ribbons with zigzag or armchair…

Using first-principles density-functional theory, we study the electronic structure of multilayer graphene nanoribbons as a function of the ribbon width and the external electric field, applied perpendicular to the ribbon layers. We…

Transport of the edge-state electrons along zigzag phosphorene nanoribbons in presence of two impurities/vacancies is analytically investigated. Considering the places of the defects, a number of different situations are examined. When both…

Despite many similarities between electronics and optics, the hopping of the electron on a discrete atomic lattice gives rise to energy band nonparabolicity and anisotropy. The crucial influences of this effect on material properties and…

The thermal properties of graphitic ribbon are investigated based on Brenner's empirical potential. The reliability and usefulness of the empirical potential to address the thermal properties of covalent-bonded carbon nanostructures are…

Electronic and thermoelectric transport in zigzag monolayer WSe$_2$ nanoribbons are studied under monochromatic irradiation. The electronic structure is described within a six-orbital tight-binding framework constructed from the relevant…

We present numerical studies of non-linear conduction in graphene nanoribbons when a bias potential is applied between the source and drain electrodes. We find that the conductance quantization plateaus show asymmetry between the electron…

This comprehensive study investigates charge transport through the multiple end zigzag edge states of finite-size armchair graphene nanoribbons/boron nitride nanoribbons (n-AGNR/w-BNNR) junctions under a longitudinal electric field, where n…

The current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of armchair graphene nanoribbons under a local uniaxial tension are investigated by using first principles quantum transport calculations. It is shown that for a given value of bias-voltage, the…

Quantum-mechanical calculations of electron magneto-transport in ideal graphene nanoribbons are presented. In noninteracting theory, it is predicted that an ideal ribbon that is attached to wide leads should reveal Fabry-Perot conductance…

We study transport properties of a strongly correlated monoatomic chain coupled to metallic leads. Our system is described by tight binding Hubbard-like model in the limit of strong on-site electron-electron interactions in the wire. The…

We theoretically investigate the electron transport in armchair and zigzag graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) chemically functionalized with p-polyphenyl and polyacene groups of increasing length. Our nearest-neighbor tight-binding calculations…

We investigate magneto-transport through graphene nano-ribbons as a function of gate and bias voltage, and temperature. We find that a magnetic field systematically leads to an increase of the conductance on a scale of a few tesla. This…
