Tuning edge state localization in graphene nanoribbons by in-plane bending
The electronic properties of graphene are influenced by both geometric confinement and strain. We study the electronic structure of in-plane bent graphene nanoribbons, systems where confinement and strain are combined. To understand its electronic properties, we develop a tight-binding model that has a small computational cost and is based on …
