Building Blocks for Integrated Graphene Circuits

Abstract

The observation of single sheets of graphite (graphene) presents new possibilities for carbon-based nanoelectronics. We report defect tolerant configurations for a nearly reflectionless 120 degrees turn and nearly reflectionless symmetric and asymmetric splitters, which can be cut from graphene. Connections between zigzag strips of different widths can be made with either low or high reflectance depending on the connection shape.
