Modeling of graphene nano-ribbon schottky diodes in the parabolic band structure limit

In this paper we investigate the band structure of graphene nano-ribbons and the current density. A square root approximation shows that the band energy is parabolic in the low energy limit. In this parabolic region charge transport is controlled by the saturation velocity.
