Comparison of the electronic transport properties of metallic graphene and silicene nanoribbons

Serhan YAMAÇLI

Carbon-based materials such as carbon nanotubes and graphene nanoribbons are investigated extensively for the near future nanoelectronics technology. Considering the expertise on the processing of silicon, various implementations of silicon counterparts of these nanoscale components such as silicon nanotubes and silicene nanoribbons have also been reported recently. In this work, electronic transport properties of metallic graphene and silicene nanoribbons (GNRs and SiNRs) are compared. Ab initio simulations based on density functional theory combined with non-equilibrium Green’s function form ...Daha fazlası
