Abstract

We study the quasi-bound state and the transport properties in the T-shaped graphene nanoribbon consisting of a metallic armchair-edge ribbon connected to a zigzag-edge sidearm. We systematically study the condition under which there are quasi-bound states in the system for a wide range of the system size. It is found that when the width of the sidearm is about half of the width of the armchair graphene nanoribbon, there is a quasi-bound state trapped at the intersection of the T-shaped structure. The quasi-bound states are truly localized in the sidearm but have small continuum components in the armchair graphene nanoribbons. The quasi-bound states have strong effect on the transport between the armchair leads through the Fano effect, but do not affect the transport between the armchair lead and the sidearm.
