▎ 摘　　要

The edge reconstructions of zigzag graphene nanoribbons with one and two lines of alternating fused five and seven membered rings along one edge with hydrogen passivation are studied using first principles density functional theory. Reconstructions on one edge stabilize the systems in a metallic ground state with finite magnetic moment. The reconstructed edge suppresses the local spin density of atoms and contributes a finite density of states at the Fermi energy. Our study shows the possibilities of fabricating the metallic electrodes for semiconducting graphene devices with full control over their magnetic behavior without any lattice mismatch between leads and the channel.
