研究目的
To study the trembling motion or Zitterbewegung (ZB) phenomena in armchair graphene nanoribbons (AGNRs) by analyzing the time dependence of the average values for the current density using long-wave approximation.
研究成果
The trembling motion (ZB) in AGNRs exhibits transient oscillations in the longitudinal direction and nonvanishing oscillations in the transversal direction, influenced by parameters like initial wave vector and nanoribbon width. The behavior resembles that of infinite graphene for large N, but edge effects persist. This provides insights for controlling ZB in nanoscale electronic applications.
研究不足
The study is theoretical and does not involve experimental validation. The analysis is limited to specific parameters and approximations, such as long-wave approximation and Gaussian wave packets, which may not capture all real-world complexities. The comparison with infinite graphene is based on numerical extrapolation and may not fully account for edge effects in finite systems.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study uses a theoretical approach with long-wave approximation and the Heisenberg representation to derive analytical expressions for the current density operator components. A Gaussian wave packet is employed to model electron motion.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The system under study is armchair graphene nanoribbons (AGNRs) with specified parameters such as width W, length L, and number of dimer lines N. No external datasets are used; the analysis is based on theoretical models.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
No specific experimental equipment or materials are mentioned as the study is purely theoretical.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The methodology involves deriving equations for current density components, setting initial conditions (e.g., pseudo-spin polarization parameters α and β, wave packet width d, initial wave vectors kxo and kyo), and performing numerical calculations to compute time-dependent average current densities.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Numerical computations are carried out to evaluate the derived analytical expressions, with results plotted to analyze oscillation behaviors in longitudinal and transversal current densities.
