Hysteresis in carbon based Field-Effect Transistors (FET) such as Graphene FETs or Carbon Nanotube FETs is a known feature that impacts the device performance [1,2]. In this work, we show that also atomically perfect Graphene Nanoribbons (GNR) exhibit a hysteresis behavior while measuring transfer curves. We perform a systematic study on armchair GNRs with a width of 5 and 9 carbon atoms (aGNR5 and aGNR9) using GNR-FET devices. Temperature and gate sweep rate dependent measurements reveal charge carrier trapping as a main cause of the hysteresis. From the measurements, we are able to extract the density and energy of the trap states that result in the hysteresis[3].
