AbstractProperties brought about by lateral in-plane coupling between graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) are investigated using the first-principle total energy calculations. It is found that, when two GNRs approach each other, the lateral coupling between the two brings about edge state splitting. Between zigzag-edged graphene nanoribbons (ZGNRs), the coupling mainly results from Coulomb and spin-spin interaction, while for armchair-edged graphene nanoribbons (AGNRs), it is from Coulomb interaction only. It is further found that the maximum inter-ribbon distance for effective coupling depends on the type of ribbons, which is ∼10 Å for ZGNRs, but ∼6 Å for AGNRs. Also, displacements of the GNRs along the ribbon direction are found to affect the electronic properties of the coupled GNRs. The results may be important for the microminiaturization of future nanoelectronic and spintronic devices based on graphene. © 2012 American Institute of Physics.
