Analysis of the Metal Work Function Dependence of Charge Transfer in Contacted Graphene Nanoribbons

In this paper, the analysis of charge injection from metal to a contacted graphene nanoribbon (GNR) is developed by means of a scattering matrix approach. The charge transport, described by the Schrödinger equation in the 2D domain of the GNRs, is solved, together with the 3D Poisson equation for th...
