Abstract  We study the band gap of finiteN  A   =  7    armchair graphene nanoribbons (7‐AGNRs) on Au(111) through scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy combined with density functional theory calculations. The band gap of 7‐AGNRs with lengths of 8 nm and more is converged to within 50 meV of its bulk value of    ≈  2  .  3    eV   , while the band gap opens by several hundred meV in very short 7‐AGNRs. We demonstrate that even an atomic defect, such as the addition of one hydrogen atom at the termini, has a significant effect – in this case, lowering the band gap. The effect can be captured in terms of a simple analytical model by introducing an effective “electronic length”.
