  Abstract:
Density-functional study of strain effects on the electronic band structure and transport properties of the graphene nanoribbons (GNR) is presented. We apply a uniaxial strain (ε) in the x (nearest-neighbor) and y (second-nearest-neighbor) directions, related to the deformation of zigzag- and armchair-edge GNRs (AGNR and ZGNR), respectively. We calculate the quantum conductance and band structures of the GNR using the Wannier function in a strain range from −8
