A study on the properties of graphene nanoribbons for electronics
… and necessary for many future applications. Nano-lithography has facilitated research into band structure engineering of graphene, as it has been shown that a size-dependent bandgap opens for graphene nanoribbons with widths below around 40 nm. To date, photo- and electron-beam lithography (PL & …
