โฆ Synopsis
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 real-space renormalization techniques. We show the apparition of interface states and bound states in the continuum which present a strong dependence of the heterostructure geometry. We investigate the effects on the conductance of an external perturbation applied on the edges atoms of the intersection region.

## Abstract The electronic and transport properties of an edgeโmodified prototype graphene nanoribbon (GNR) slice are investigated using density functional theory and Green's function theory. Two decorating functional group pairs are considered, such as hydrogenโhydrogen and NH~2~โNO~2~ with NO~2~
We studied theoretically the electronic transport of metallic graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) with two vacancies using the tight-binding model and Green's function method. The results show that the conductance of zigzag GNR (ZGNR) varies with the relative position of two vacancies. However, when two vac
