Mobility gaps in disordered graphene‐based materials: an ab initio‐based tight‐binding approach to mesoscopic transport

As is common knowledge, armchair graphene nanoribbons (aGNRs) share many electronic features with carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Nevertheless, crucial differences emerge when disorder comes into play. It is thus instructive, both from a theoretical and a technological perspective, to analyze the impact of possible types of disorder on the transport properties of these graphene-based materials.
