Abstract
IWCE presentation. Recently, resonant tunneling has been observed in stacked graphene flakes[1]. The rotational misalignment introduces an offset between the Dirac-cones in both flakes, resulting in negative differential resistance when shifting the Dirac-cones under bias.
In this paper we investigate the finite-size effect in nano-scaled graphene flakes. Improving on the bulk description, and because the structures are – atomistically speaking – large in size, we use the empirical pseudopotential method[2].
