A twist for tunable electronic and thermal transport properties of nanodevices

Abstract

Twisted graphene-layered materials with nonzero interlayer twist angles (θ) have recently become appealing, as they exhibit a range of attractive physical properties, which include a Mott insulating phase and...

Effects of vacancies on quantum transport of zigzag graphene nanoribbons

“…The excellent properties of ZGNRs, such as the occurrence of localized edge states that result in magnetic ordering [16,17] and high carrier mobility, make ZGNR a viable choice for scientific developments such as future nanodevices [18][19][20][21][22]. Moreover, due to the connection between specific electronic properties and superconductivity, ZGNR-based superconductors have garnered significant interest in the fields of quantum transport and superconductor nanoelectronics [23,24].…”
