Effects of defects and disorder in graphene nanoribbons (HL 49.3 switched with TT 27.6)


Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft, AKF Frühjahrstagung 2007 <br> German Physical Society, Spring Meeting 2007 | event contribution
March 26, 2007 - March 30, 2007 | Regensburg, Germany

Nanostructured graphene is a promising candidate for future devices at the nanometer scale. Defects and disorder as well as irregular edges cannot be avoided in any realistic setup. We use a l-orbital model for a systematic study of the effects of various kinds of defects on the electronic transport properties of graphene nanoribbons and emphasize differences and similarities to the well known results for carbon nanotubes.
