Bond and electronic relaxation dynamics of graphene, gold clusters, and water ice by Zhang, Xi

“…Consistency between the BOLS-TB calculation and density functional theory (DFT) calculation on graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) verified that i) the physical origin of the band gap expansion lays in the enhancement of edge potentials and hopping integrals due to the shorter and stronger bonds between undercoordinated atoms; and ii) nonbond electrons at the edge of zigzag-edged GNRs and atomic vacancies accompanied with the broken bond contribute to the Dirac-Fermi polaron (DFP) with a local magnetic momentum; iii) the formation of triple bond at the edge of armchair-edged and reconstruct-edged GNRs annihilates the nonbond electron and prevent formation of DFPs. …”
