Towards graphene nanoribbon-based electronics
The successful fabrication of single layer graphene has greatly stimulated the progress of the research on graphene. In this article, focusing on the basic electronic and transport properties of graphene nanoribbons (GNRs), we review the recent progress of experimental fabrication of GNRs, the theoretical and experimental investigations of physical properties, and device applications of GNRs. We also briefly discuss the research efforts on the spin polarization of GNRs in relation to the edge states.
