A matter of doping: Graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) were generated through an on-surface bottom-up synthesis and selectively doped at their edges by introducing nitrogen atoms in the precursor monomers. While the size of the band gap of 2.8 eV remains almost unchanged upon N substitution, a linear shift of the band structure is observed and corresponds to n-type doping (see picture; CB=conduction band and VB=valence band).
Bronner et al. (Tue,) studied this question.
