Its planar form of single-layer atom structure promises great application potentials in various fields. Graphene nanoribbon (GNR), as the most common form of graphene, extract numerous research attention due to its promising electrical, mechanical, thermal properties. For example, unlike gapless graphene, GNR has tunable band gap engineered by width; GNR is very elastic and is stronger than any conventional material; GNR is also extremely thermally conductive, which all combined grants it great potential in many applications including transistors, power switches, electronics interconnector, quantum dots, photovoltaic panel etc. This dissertation reports many findings of mechanical and electrical properties of GNR and GNR-based device from multi-scale simulations based on molecular dynamics simulation, Tight-binding method, Non-Equilibrium Green’s Function (NEGF), and Self-Consistent Born Approximation (SCBA), etc.","**To request an accessible version of the file(s) associated with this item, contact library@buffalo.edu.
