Graphene nanoribbon

Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) images of graphene nanoribbons having periodic width and boron doping pattern. The polymerization reaction used for their synthesis is shown on top.[1]

Graphene nanoribbons (GNRs, also called nano-graphene ribbons or nano-graphite ribbons) are strips of graphene with width less than 100 nm. Graphene ribbons were introduced as a theoretical model by Mitsutaka Fujita and coauthors to examine the edge and nanoscale size effect in graphene.[2][3][4]
