Unified bandgap engineering of graphene nanoribbons

Unified bandgap engineering, valid both for the armchair and zigzag graphene nanoribbons (GNRs), is enunciated. Using the boundary condition appropriate for K-K′ points of the Dirac cones, GNRs are shown to exhibit three distinct semiconducting states SC0, SC1, and SC2 with complete absence of metal...
