Spin Bloch states in graphene nanoribbons

(1/1)

Anders Blom:
Did you know that you can visualize Bloch states with ATK/VNL?! :)

We have used this functionality in a new tutorial to demonstrate how spin creates a band gap in a zigzag graphene nanowire, which is gapless/metallic without spin included. By plotting the Bloch states we see that the two spin components localize on opposite edges of the ribbon.

An example of a Bloch state plot is attached.
