Abstract
We study the effect of transversal electric-field (E-field) on the electronic properties of multilayer armchair-graphene-nanoribbon (AGNR). The bandgap in multilayer-AGNRs can be reversibly modulated with the application of E-field. At optimized widths, we obtain a semiconductor (SC) to metallic (M), as well as M-SC transition. The AGNR electronic bands undergo vivid transformations due to the E-field, leading to phenomena such as increase in electron velocity, change in the sign of the electron effective mass, and the formation of linear dispersion with massless Dirac fermions similar to 2D-graphene. These effects are very useful and can be utilized for device applications.
