Self-consistent Hartree theory of the role of electron-electron interactions in the electronic structure and conductance quantization of graphene nanoconstrictions [PDF]
We present self-consistent calculations of electron transport in graphene nanoconstrictions within the Hartree approximation. We consider suspended armchair ribbons with V-shaped constrictions having perfect armchair or zigzag edges as well as mesoscopically smooth but atomically stepped constrictions with cosine profiles. Our calculations are based on

Andreev States in long shallow SNS constrictions [PDF]
We study Andreev bound states in a long shallow normal constriction, which is open to a superconductor at both ends. The interesting features of such setup include the absence of electron-hole symmetry and the interference of electron waves along the constriction.
