Description

We examined the ac transport attribute of the multi-terminal structures in the absence and presence of magnetic field. We found that the ac response depends on the structural configurations and that the admittance varies with the features of the attached nanoribbons. In the vicinity of Dirac point the dc conductance manifests a dip or peak and the imaginary part (emittance) vanishes or not, depending on whether the attached ribbon is semiconductive or metallic. In the presence of magnetic field, the emittance becomes asymmetric reflecting the dynamic behaviors of electron and hole. -- Highlights: ► Ac transport of multi-terminal graphene nanoribbon structures is studied in the absence and presence of magnetic field. ► The admittances of the devices are related to the configurations of attached ribbons. ► The negative and positive signs of the imaginary part of admittance (emittance) relate to the capacitive and inductive responses of the system. ► In the presence of magnetic field, emittance becomes asymmetric reflecting the dynamic behaviors of electron and hole.
