Description:
Author(s): Hernán Santos, M. C. Muñoz, M. P. López-Sancho, and Leonor Chico We study the electronic structure of chiral and achiral graphene nanoribbons with symmetric edges, including curvature and spin-orbit effects. Curved ribbons show spin-split bands, whereas flat ribbons present spin-degenerate bands. We show that this effect is due to the breaking of spatial inversio... [Phys. Rev.
