Abstract :
The electronic and vibrational properties of carbon nanoribbons (CNRs) are analyzed and compared to carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Transport properties are analyzed from the perspective of use in an FET device. The required sizing and consequent processing requirements are discussed. The overall properties of the CNRs and CNTs are found to be similar, with the primary difference being the more restrictive size vs. bandgap behavior of the CNRs
