Resonant states in heterostructures of graphene nanoribbons
چکیده انگلیسی

We study the transport properties of heterostructures of armchair graphene nanoribbons (AGNR) forming a double symmetrical barrier configuration. The systems are described by a single-band tight-binding Hamiltonian and Green's functions formalism, based on real-space renormalization techniques. We present results for the quantum conductance and the current for distinct configurations, focusing our analysis on the dependence of the transport with geometrical effects such as separation, width and transverse dimension of the barriers. Our results show the apparition of a series of resonant peaks in the conductance, showing a clear evidence of the presence of resonant states in the conductor. Changes in the barrier dimensions allow the modulation of the resonances in the conductance, making possible to obtain a complete suppression of electron transmission for determined values of the Fermi energy. The current–voltage curves show the presence of a negative differential resistance effect with a threshold voltage that can be controlled by varying the separation between the barriers and by modulating its confinement potential.
