▎ 摘  要

The transport properties of the devices made by corrugated graphene nanoribbons were investigated using the density functional theory in combination with the nonequilibrium Green's function method. We find that the transport properties of the zigzag graphene nanoribbons (ZGNRs) with arched corrugation are similar to the flat one, while the transmission of the ZGNRs with step-shaped corrugation is greatly depressed. As for the armchair graphene nanoribbons (AGNRs), arched corrugation enlarges the transmission gap and the threshold voltage of the device. Moreover, the open currents of AGNRs are significantly depressed by both stepped and arched corrugation.
