Critical electronic and many-body properties of <i>α</i>-<i>T</i><sub>3</sub> nanoribbons

POSTER

Abstract

Quasi-one-dimensional nanoribbons of finite width could be produced from the recently proposed α-T3 materials with variable hub-rim coupling parameter similarly to nanoribbons fabricated from graphene. We investigate their critical electronic and collective properties, such as plasmons, based on the tight-binding model for the low-lying energy bands and spin-1 Dirac-Weyl equation with the proper boundary conditions. Our results strongly depend on the type of boundary which our nanoribbon has. We believe that the novel electronic properties we obtained will significantly benefit the field of currently existing carbon-based nanoelectronics and nanodevices.
