Multichannel ballistic transport observed in graphene nanoribbons

A research group led by Christoph Tegenkamp at Technische Universität Chemnitz in Germany previously showed that GNRs grown on the sidewalls of mesa structures of silicon carbide demonstrate room-temperature ballistic transport, electron transport with essentially zero resistance, at unusually long length scales. In this new research, the group collaborated with researchers from other European institutions to characterize the current flow in detail and study the transport mechanism.
