Graphene nanoribbons subject to gentle bends
Graphene nanoribbons subject to gentle bends
Since graphene nanoribbons are thin and flimsy, they need support. Support gives firm ground for applications, and adhesion holds ribbons flat, although not necessarily straight: Ribbons with a high aspect ratio are prone to bend. The effects of bending on ribbons' electronic properties, however, are unknown. Therefore, this article examines …
