Interlayer Conductance in the Armchair Nanotube -- Zigzag Graphene Ribbon Parallel Contact: Theoretical Proposal of Detection of Wavefunction Growing from the Edge to the Center in the Graphene Ribbon
arXiv:2310.19361 · doi:10.7566/JPSJ.92.113701
Abstract
Sublattices A and B are opposite in the decay direction of the edge state of the zigzag graphene ribbon (ZGR). Detecting exponential growth from the zigzag edges to the ZGR center remains challenging. The tight-binding model calculations in this letter reveal that interlayer conductance manifests this growth in parallel contact with the armchair nanotube. The transfer integrals of oblique interlayer bonds are comparable to those of vertical interlayer bonds. However, the phase of the ZGR wave function strongly suppresses the contribution of oblique bonds, allowing the selective detection of the growing component.
