abstract = {Motivated by recent successful synthesize of segmented graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) with junctions, we explore electronic properties of a novel form of GNR with sawtooth-like structure using the density-functional theory method. It is found that the unique edge structures of the sawtooth-like GNR induce richer band-gap features than the straight GNR counterpart with either armchair or zigzag edges. The effect of external electric field on the electronic properties of the sawtooth-like GNR is also studied. The theoretical results may be useful for designing GNR-based field-effect transistors.}
