Using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), we find that the dopant-derived valence and conduction band states are notably hybridized with electronic states of Au substrate and spread in energy. The interaction with the substrate leaves the bands with pure carbon character rather unperturbed. This results in an identical effective mass of ~0.2 m0 for the next highest valence band compared to pristine 7AGNRs. We probe the phonons of B-7AGNRs by ultra-high vacuum (UHV) Raman spectroscopy and reveal the existence of characteristic splittings and red-shifts of Raman modes due to the presence of substitutional boron atoms. Comparing the Raman spectra for three visible lasers (red, green and blue) we find that interaction with gold suppresses the Raman signal from B-7AGNRs and the energy of a green laser (2.33 eV) is closer to the resonant E22 transition. The hybridized electronic structure of the B-7AGNR/Au interface is expected to improve electrical characteristics of contacts between graphene nanoribbon and Au. The Raman fingerprint allows easy identification of B-7AGNRs, that is particularly useful for device fabrication.	Jul 2018
