Defect symmetry influence on electronic transport of zigzag nanoribbons

<p>Abstract</p> <p>The electronic transport of zigzag-edged graphene nanoribbon (ZGNR) with local Stone-Wales (SW) defects is systematically investigated by first principles calculations. While both symmetric and asymmetric SW defects give rise to complete electron backscattering r...
