Armchair graphene nanoribbons (AGNRs) with 8 and 10 carbon atoms in width (8- and 10-AGNRs) are synthesized on Au (111) surfaces via lateral fusion of nanoribbons that belong to different subfamilies. Poly-para-phenylene (3-AGNR) chains are pre-synthesized as ladder ribbons on Au (111). Subsequently, synthesized 5- and 7-AGNRs can laterally fuse with 3-AGNRs upon annealing at higher temperature, producing 8- and 10-AGNRs, respectively. The synthetic process, and their geometric and electronic structures are characterized by scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/STS). STS investigations reveal the band gap of 10-AGNR (2.0 ± 0.1 eV) and a large apparent band gap of 8-AGNRs (2.3 ± 0.1 eV) on Au (111) surface.
通过不同亚家族纳米带的横向融合,在金(111)表面合成了宽度为8个和10个碳原子的扶手椅型石墨烯纳米带(8 -和10 - AGNRs)。聚对亚苯基(3 - AGNR)链预先作为梯形带在金(111)上合成。随后,合成的5 -和7 - AGNRs在较高温度退火时可与3 - AGNRs横向融合,分别生成8 -和10 - AGNRs。通过扫描隧道显微镜/光谱(STM/STS)对合成过程及其几何和电子结构进行了表征。STS研究揭示了在金(111)表面上10 - AGNR的带隙为(2.0 ± 0.1 eV)以及8 - AGNRs的大表观带隙为(2.3 ± 0.1 eV)。
