A tight-binding model is solved using Keldysh formalism, and the crossover between adiabatic and non-adiabatic regimes is studied. Pumped dc currents through armchair ribbons show properties common in two-dimensional systems. The width-dependent dc current in zigzag ribbons, reveals that edge states akin to those in two-dimensional topological insulators, do not contribute to pumped transport in the adiabatic regime. The interplay between propagating and evanescent modes is discussed.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-03-18T14:13:48.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "graphene nanoribbons", "non-adiabatic pumping", "edge states akin", "non-equilibrium two-parameter pumping transport", "width-dependent dc current" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1203.3952K" } } }
