▎ 摘  要

The total electron densities of states for graphene nanoribbons with edges of different chirality, as well as the electron local densities of states for individual atoms in these nanoribbons, are calculated and analyzed. There are sharp resonance peaks near the Fermi level in the total electron densities of states of graphene nanoribbons with zigzag edges, which emerge only in the local densities of atoms from the sublattice that goes directly to the nearest edge (i.e., whose atoms have dangling bonds). Semiconducting gaps appear in the spectra of graphene nanobands with armchair chirality edges having a number of constituent atomic lines that is either a multiple of three, or gives a remainder of one when divided by three. The width of this gap only depends on the width of the nanoribbon, and is the same for all its atoms. The electron spectra of graphene nanoribbons with armchair-chirality edges have a metallic behavior if the number of atomic lines gives a remainder of two when divided by three. However, semiconducting gaps still manifest on the local densities of the atoms belonging to some lines of such nanoribbons. Published under license by AIP Publishing.
