Graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) are widely used in nanoelectronics and opto-electronics. In this study, we investigated the energy spectrum and mapping of alternate bond systems in one-dimensional and quasi one-dimensional chains. Our findings provide valuable insights for the applications of GNRs.
A graphene nanoribbon (GNR) is a strip of carbon atoms having sp2 hybridization. It has wide application in nanoelectronics and opto-electronics. Usual fields of application are found in field effect transistors, interconnects, logic gates, sensors, energy storage, and photovoltaics. A single unit graphene nanoribbon is a long strip of graphene rings. Such a GNR structure may be seen as two one-dimensional carbon chains that are suitable connected with bonds. We have done tight binding calculations and density functional theory simulation of carbon chains. We study the single bond and double bond one-dimensional carbon chain and the alternate bond (t1-t2), also called a bond order system in one dimension and quasi one-dimensional chain. We find evidence for the emergence of multiple gaps in the energy spectrum of these systems. We have mapped the alternate bond system to the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model (with a small modification) in one dimension and quasi one dimension. This is the first time such a mapping has been attempted and a comprehensive theoretical and computational study of these chains has been performed.
