The connection between the edge states and Andreev bound states of anisotropic superconductivity is also discussed in Ref. 23.

35. Note that graphite ribbons can be a simple model of defective carbon nanotubes of carpet-roll or papier-mâché forms (Ref. 28) activated carbon fibers (Refs. 293031), and graphitized nano-diamond particles (Ref. 32). There are also some trials to fabricate nanographite ribbons on metal substrates (Ref. 33), or fabrications by STM (Ref. 34).

62. The zigzag (bearded) ribbons at (Formula presented) can be mapped to a finite one-dimensional chain with (Formula presented) (Formula presented) sites, which can be solved analytically (see the appendix of Ref. 25). From this analytic solution, the form of (Formula presented) (Formula presented) is easily derived.
