Abstract

Based on the cluster perturbation solution of the Hubbard Hamiltonian for a 2D honeycomb lattice, we present quasi-particle band structures of nanoribbons at half filling as a function of on-site electron-electron (e-e) repulsion. We show that, at moderate values of e-e interaction, ribbons with armchair-shaped edges exhibit an unexpected semimetallic behavior, recovering the original insulating character only at larger values of U. © 2014 The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.
