Abstract
Using the density functional theory combined with the non-equilibrium Green's function method, we have investigated the electron transport properties of combined nanostructures of two zigzag-edged trigonal graphenes linked by their vertex carbon atoms bridged between two gold electrodes. The results show that obvious negative differential resistance behavior can be obtained at low bias (0.3 V) in such combined systems. The observed low-bias negative differential resistance behavior is analyzed by the bias-dependent transmission spectra, projected density of states, and voltage drop.
