(a) Spatial distribution of the electron density in pristine ribbons of width M = 12 (group 3p), M = 13 (group 3p + 1) and M = 14 (group 3p + 2), charge is minimal at positions m = 3i from one edge, especially in the group 3p + 2. (b) Pictures of the effect of vacancies on the electrical conductance at different positions for 3 groups of ribbon widths.
