Lambert W Function Framework for Graphene Nanoribbon Quantum Sensing: Theory, Verification, and Multi-Modal Applications

preprint2026arXivOpen access

Abstract

We establish a rigorous mathematical framework connecting graphene nanoribbon quantum sensing to the Lambert W function through the finite square well (FSW) analogy. The Lambert W function, defined as the inverse of f(W)=WeWf(W) = We^W, provides exact analytical solutions to transcendental equations governing quantum confinement. We demonstrate that operating near the branch point at z=−1/ez = -1/e yields sensitivity enhancement factors scaling as ηenh∝(z−zc)−1/2η_{\text{enh}} \propto (z - z_c)^{-1/2}, achieving 35-fold enhancement at δ=0.001δ= 0.001. Comprehensive numerical verification confirms: (i) all seven bound states for strength parameter R=10R = 10 satisfying the constraint u2+v2=R2u^2 + v^2 = R^2; (ii) exact agreement between theoretical band gap formula Eg=2πℏvF/(3L)E_g = 2π\hbar v_F/(3L) and empirical relation Eg=1.38/LE_g = 1.38/L eV⋅\cdotnm; (iii) universal sensitivity scaling across biomedical (SARS-CoV-2, inflammatory markers, cancer biomarkers), environmental (CO2_2, CH4_4, NO2_2, N2_2O, H2_2O), and physical (strain, magnetic field, temperature) sensing modalities. This unified framework provides design principles for next-generation graphene quantum sensors with analytically predictable performance.
