Graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) with atomically precise width and edge structures are a promising class of nanomaterials for optoelectronics, thanks to their semiconducting nature high mobility charge carriers. Understanding the fundamental static optical properties ultrafast dynamics carrier generation in GNRs is essential optoelectronic applications. Combining THz spectroscopy theoretical calculations, we report strong exciton effect binding energy up ∼700 meV liquid-phase-dispersed 1.7 nm an...
Bottom-up synthesis of low-bandgap graphene nanoribbons with various widths is great importance for their applications in electronic and optoelectronic devices. Here we demonstrate a N = 5 armchair (5-AGNRs) lateral fusion into wider AGNRs, by chemical vapor deposition method. The efficient formation 10- 15-AGNRs revealed combination different spectroscopic methods, including Raman UV–vis-near-infrared spectroscopy as well scanning tunneling microscopy. degree thus the optical properties...
Abstract In graphene nanoribbons (GNRs), the lateral confinement of charge carriers opens a band gap, key feature that enables novel graphene-based electronics. Despite great progress, reliable and reproducible fabrication single-ribbon field-effect transistors (FETs) is still challenge, impeding understanding transport. Here, we present armchair GNR-FETs based on networks analyze transport mechanism using nine-atom wide and, in particular, five-atom-wide GNRs with large conductivity. We...
In this Communication, we report the first synthesis of structurally well-defined graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) functionalized with dendritic polymers. The resultant GNRs possess grafting ratios 0.59–0.68 for dendrons different generations. Remarkably, precise 3D branched conformation grafted affords unprecedented 1D supramolecular self-assembly behavior in tetrahydrofuran (THF), yielding nanowires, helices and nanofibers depending on dimension dendrons. GNR superstructures THF exhibit...
Abstract The electronic properties of graphene can be efficiently altered upon interaction with the underlying substrate resulting in a dramatic change charge carrier behavior. Here, evolution local epitaxial on metal controlled formation multilayers, which are produced by intercalation atomic carbon graphene/Ir(111), is investigated. Using scanning tunneling microscopy and Landau‐level spectroscopy, it shown that for monolayer bilayers small‐angle rotations, Landau levels fully suppressed,...
