Technique Tunes into Graphene Nanoribbons’ Electronic Potential

May 5, 2022 Guest Blog Comments Off on Technique Tunes into Graphene Nanoribbons’ Electronic Potential

Ever since graphene, a thin carbon sheet just one-atom thick, was discovered more than 15 years ago, the wonder material became a workhorse in materials science research. From this body of work, other researchers learned that slicing graphene along the edge of its honeycomb lattice creates one-dimensional zigzag graphene strips or nanoribbons with exotic magnetic properties […]
