Outline

Graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) are strips of graphene, which is a one-atom-thick layer of carbon, and have a number of outstanding properties, including high mobility, variable band-gap, and long spin lifetime, as well as a number of promising applications, including ultrafast devices, high-efficiency photovoltaic cells, and quantum computers. We will develope a bottom-up technology to synthesize GNRs with contorolled widths and edge structures that would not be possible using top-down methods. We will realize “tailor-made” sysnthesis of GNRs for various applications, which will be a foundation for developing innovative devices.
