Armchair graphene nanoribbons: PT-symmetry breaking and exceptional points without dissipation

Maurizio Fagotti, Claudio Bonati, Demetrio Logoteta, Paolo Marconcini, Massimo Macucci

Published 2011-02-10, updated 2011-06-25Version 3

We consider a single layer graphene nanoribbon with armchair edges in a longitudinally constant external potential and point out that its transport properties can be described by means of an effective non-Hermitian Hamiltonian. We show that this system has some features typical of dissipative systems, namely the presence of exceptional points and of PT-symmetry breaking, although it is not dissipative.
