A New Mechanism for THz Detection Based on the Tunneling Effect in Bi-Layer Graphene Nanoribbons

A new possible mechanism of signal detection in the THz range is investigated, based on the excitation of resonances due to the tunneling effect between two graphene nanoribbons. A simple detector is proposed, where two graphene nanoribbons are used to contact two copper electrodes. The terminal vol...
