A nanoscale logic NOR gate has been theoretically designed by magnetic flux inputs in a Z-shaped graphene nanoribbon composed of an armchair ribbon device sandwiched between two semi-infinite metallic zigzag ribbon leads. The calculations are based on the tight-binding model and iterative Green'...
