17. Recently, a method was developed to study the transport of Dirac fermions in open graphene ribbon systems. The method was based on transfer matrix, which can be used to study the transport properties through a graphene ribbon with periodic boundary conditions in the transverse direction. See J. Tworzydlo, C. W. Groth, and C. W. J. Beenakker, Phys. Rev. B PRBMDO 1098-0121 10.1103/PhysRevB.78.235438 78, 235438 (2008).

19. Boundary conditions are also an important issue in graphene systems, e.g., with respect to armchair or zigzag boundaries. See, for example, A. R. Akhmerov and C. W. J. Beenakker, Phys. Rev. B PRBMDO 1098-0121 10.1103/PhysRevB.77.085423 77, 085423 (2008).
