Hydrodynamical Model for Charge Transport in Graphene Nanoribbons.

We present a hydrodynamical model for graphene nanoribbons that takes into account the electron collisions with the lattice and with the edge of the ribbon. Moreover the bandgap due to the low dimension of the ribbon is considered. The simulation shows that the model describes qualitatively the macroscopic behavior of the charges and the results are comparable with that ones obtained by solving numerically the Boltzmann equation but with a remarkable reduction of the computational time.
