β¦ Synopsis
We study electronic properties of graphene derivatives which have closed edges. They are finite-length graphene nanoribbons and graphene nanodisks. No metallic states are found in finite-length zigzag nanoribbons though all infinite-length zigzag nanoribbons are metallic. We also study hexagonal, parallelogrammic and trigonal nanodisks with zigzag or armchair edges. No metallic states are found in these nanodisks either except trigonal zigzag nanodisks. It is interesting that we can design the degeneracy of the metallic states arbitrarily in trigonal zigzag nanodisks by changing the size.

We study the electronic and transport properties of heterostructures formed by armchair graphene nanoribbons with intersections of finite length. We describe the system by a tight-binding model and calculate the density of states and the conductance within the Green's function formalism based on rea
## Abstract We perform __ab initio__ calculations for graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) using densityβfunctional theory (DFT) and generalized gradient approximation (GGA) functionals. We present results for the dependence of the band structures and energy gaps on the ribbon widths for armchair and zigzag
