Temperature effect on electronic properties of armchair graphene nanoribbon

Abstract

Graphene Nanoribbon (GNR) is considered as a forthcoming material for the next generation of nanoelectronic devices. The more exciting thing in GNR is that it shows considerable bandgap. Armchair GNR (A-GNR) is one type of GNRs which demonstrate semiconducting electronic properties. In this research, it has been observed that due to edge effect and thermal effect on A-GNR, the electronic properties vary. In this paper, the electronic properties like bandgap energy, carrier concentration, capacitance and fermi probability for a definite energy level have been analyzed by considering the above mentioned effect.
