Ribbon width dependence of electronic properties of ACNR. (a) FM and AFM spin alignments of Cr atoms. (b) Width normalized energy difference Δ E AFM − FM ( = E AFM − E FM ). (c) Band structure and projected DOS for ACNR-6. (d) Net spin charge density Δ ρ FM . (e) Maximal magnetic moment of Cr atoms in both FM and AFM states. (f) Band gap E_g of both FM and AFM states.
