First-principles study of the transport behavior of zigzag graphene nanoribbons tailored by strain

The charge transport properties of zigzag graphene nanoribbons (ZGNRs) under uniaxial and shear strains are theoretically studied. Although all strained ZGNRs have similar metallic band structures, they show four types of transport behavior under bias voltages that depend on the type of strain and t...
