Conductivity of Graphene Nanoribbon Affected by DC Electric Field

详细

The paper focuses on the calculation of the density of states based on the electron hopping Hamiltonian of graphene using the direct Hamiltonian diagonalization. The density of states is then recalculated into the tunneling current arising between graphene nanoribbon and contact metal. It is shown that the dc electric field applied in parallel to the nanoribbon plane modifies the properties of the tunneling current.
