graphene nanoribbon transistor tutorial problem
« on: February 10, 2024, 14:46 »
Hello

i have checked the tutorial given on the following page: https://docs.quantumatk.com/tutorials/graphene_nanoribbon_device/graphene_nanoribbon_device.html#graphene-nanoribbon-device

the conductance obtained in the given example changes about 20 times for the gate voltages of 0V and -2V. however, the reference paper given here: https://doi.org/10.1021/nl070133j shows that the conductance changes 2000 times for the gate voltages of 0V and -2V.

What is the source of the big difference between the results given in the reference paper and the tutorial?

thanks.

Although the tutorial was actually inspired by this paper, the width of the ribbon is quite different. I think that is a major factor. We do use a fast Huckel model in the tutorial vs DFT in the paper, but if the band structure is similar, this should not play a significant role (not orders of magnitude).

Thanks, I will try by changing the width and report here.
