摘要
基于紧束缚理论,研究了石墨烯纳米环的电子结构和磁响应特性。计算结果表明当存在垂直磁场时,由于谷间散射,能谱中每个能带由六条能级组成。根据环的电子结构,石墨烯纳米环可以分为金属环和半导体环。在金属环中,持续电流随着磁通增大呈现线性变化关系。然而,半导体环的持续电流随着磁通增大呈现正弦函数关系。无论是金属还是半导体石墨烯环,磁通驱动下的电子都沿着环做逆时针运动,因而呈现出抗磁特性。
The electronic structure and persistent current of graphene rings have been studied using the tight-binding model.Our results show that in the presence of a perpendicular magnetic field,energy spectrum can be grouped into bands with six levels per band owing to inter-valley scattering.According to degeneracy of energy level at the Fermi energy,the graphene rings are divided into two groups,metallic and semiconducting rings.In metallic rings,the persistent current within a flux period changes linearly with magnetic fluxϕ,while it is a sinusoidal periodical function ofϕin semiconducting rings.Both metallic and semiconducting rings exhibit diamagnetic response,because the electrons driven by magnetic flux flow anticlockwise along the rings.
