Graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) are at the frontier of research on graphene materials since the 1D quantum confinement of electrons allows for the opening of an energy gap.

The armchair graphene nanoribbons (AGNRs) can be either semiconducting or metallic, depending on their widths. We investigate the electronic properties of AGNRs under uniaxial strain and electric field. We find that the bulk gap decreases gradually with the increase of the electric field for semiconducting case, but it cannot vanish completely in an appropriate range, which is similar to that of a single uniaxial strain. However, a suitable combination of electric field and uniaxial strain can lead to that the energy gap completely vanishes and reopens. For the metallic case, the bulk gap can display the same opening and closing behavior under an electric field and uniaxial strain. Finally, an interesting quantum phenomenon is obtained by applying a perpendicular magnetic field.

Graphene nanoribbons (GNRs), quasi-one-dimensional strips of graphene, exhibit a nonzero bandgap due to quantum confinement and edge effects. In the past decade, different types of GNRs with atomically precise structures...

Abstract We have calculated and investigated the electronic states, dynamical polarization function and the plasmon excitations for α − T3 nanoribbons with armchair-edge termination. The obtained plasmon dispersions are found to depend significantly on the number of atomic rows across the ribbon and the energy gap which is also determined by the nanoribbon geometry. The bandgap appears to have the strongest effect on both the plasmon dispersions and their Landau damping. We have determined the conditions when relative hopping parameter α of an α − T3 lattice has a strong effect on the plasmons which makes our material distinguished from graphene nanoribbons. Our results for the electronic and collective properties of α − T3 nanoribbons are expected to find numerous applications in the development of the next-generation electronic, nano-optical and plasmonic devices.
