Quantum Inductance and High Frequency Oscillators in Graphene Nanoribbons
arXiv:1102.3457 · doi:10.1088/0957-4484/22/16/165203
Abstract
Here we investigate high frequency AC transport through narrow graphene nanoribbons with topgate potentials that form a localized quantum dot. We show that as a consequence of the finite dwell time of an electron inside the quantum dot (QD), the QD behaves like a classical inductor at sufficiently high frequencies ω\gtrsim50 GHz. When the geometric capacitance of the topgate and the quantum capacitance of the nanoribbon are accounted for, the admittance of the device behaves like a classical serial RLC circuit with resonant frequencies ω\sim100-900 GHz and Q-factors greater than 10^{6}. These results indicate that graphene nanoribbons can serve as all-electronic ultra-high frequency oscillators and filters thereby extending the reach of high frequency electronics into new domains.
