Armchair graphene nanoribbons: PT-symmetry breaking and exceptional points without dissipation

We consider a single layer graphene nanoribbon with armchair edges in a longitudinally constant external potential and point out that its transport properties can be described by means of an effective non-Hermitian Hamiltonian. We show that this system has some features typical of dissipative system...
