A Electron transport study on ultrathin armchair graphene nanoribbone (original) (raw)

This research investigates the electron transport properties of ultrathin armchair graphene nanoribbons (5-AGNRs), with a focus on the effects of ribbon width and geometry on electronic characteristics. Using first-principles quantum transport simulations, the study examines the I-V curves under external bias, revealing significant semiconducting behavior and a notable increase in bias voltage thresholds for positive charge carriers. The findings suggest that ultrathin AGNRs have promising potential for next-generation nanoelectronic and optoelectronic applications.
