Heteroatom doping is an important method for engineering graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) because of its ability to modify electronic properties by introducing extra electrons or vacancies. However, precisely integrating oxygen atoms into the…
Strain fold-like deformations on armchair graphene nanoribbons (AGNRs) can be properly engineered in experimental setups, and could lead to a new controlling tool for gaps and transport properties. Here, we analyze the electronic properties…
One of severe limits of graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) in future applications is that zigzag GNRs (ZGNRs) are gapless, so cannot be used in field effect transistors (FETs). In this paper, using tight-binding approach and first principles…

The conductance of metallic graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) with single defects and weak disorder at their edges is investigated in a tight-binding model. We find that a single edge defect will induce quasi-localized states and consequently…
A central question in the field of graphene-related research is how graphene behaves when it is patterned at the nanometer scale with different edge geometries. Perhaps the most fundamental shape relevant to this question is the graphene…
Graphene is a nonmagnetic semimetal and cannot be directly used as electronic or spintronic devices. We demonstrate that graphene quantum dots (GQDs) can exhibit strong edge magnetism and tunable energy gaps due to the presence of localized…
The design and fabrication of robust metallic states in graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) is a significant challenge since lateral quantum confinement and many-electron interactions tend to induce electronic band gaps when graphene is patterned…
