a A zigzag GNR with n = 8 C chains with hydrogen saturated on both edges. The GNR is infinite long along its axis as indicated by the dashed arrow. T represents the translational vector. Those 16 C atoms inside the translational unit cell are represented by solid balls. b The same zigzag GNR under a uniform in-plane bending. The rotational angle corresponding to this motif is Ω. The dashed line indicates the neutral surface with zero strain. On the inner (outer) side of the neutral surface, the C chain colored blue (red) along GNR edge is compressed (extended)
