This template is to be used for preparing manuscripts for submission to Nano Research. Use of this template will save time in the review and production processes and will expedite publication. However, use of the template is not a requirement of submission. Do not modify the template in any way (delete spaces, modify font size/line height, etc.). If you need more detailed information about the preparation and submission of a manuscript to Nano Research, please see the latest version of the Instructions for Authors at http://www.thenanoresearch.com/.
TABLE OF CONTENTS (TOC)Authors are required to submit a graphic entry for the Table of Contents (TOC) in conjunction with the manuscript title. This graphic should capture the readers' attention and give readers a visual impression of the essence of the paper. Labels, formulae, or numbers within the graphic must be legible at publication size. Tables or spectra are not acceptable. Color graphics are highly encouraged. The resolution of the figure should be at least 600 dpi. The size should be at least 50 mm × 80 mm with a rectangular shape (ideally, the ratio of height to width should be less than 1 and larger than 5/8). One to two sentences should be written below the figure to summarize the paper. To create the TOC, please insert your image in the template box below. Fonts, size, and spaces should not be changed. In this work the novel hexagonal nanomeshes based on bilayered graphene were studied. Electronic and transport properties and the dependences of the band gap on two main parameters characterizing the geometry were studied in detail.Provide the authors' webside if possible.
ABSTRACTWe present a theoretical study of new nanostructures based on the bilayered graphene with periodically arranged hexagonal holes (bilayered graphene antidots). Our ab initio calculations show that fabrication of hexagonal holes in bigraphene leads to connection of the neighboring edges of the two graphene layers with formation of a hollow carbon nanostructure sheet which displays wide range of electronic properties (from semiconductor to metallic), depending on the size of the holes and the distance between them. The results were additionally supported by wave packet dynamical transport calculations based on the numerical solution of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation.
