Conductance quantization is a defining feature of electronic transport in quasi-one dimensional conductors. In the absence of a magnetic field, confinement results in a sequence of transverse sub-bands with an increasing number of nodes across the device width. Graphene nanoribbons grown on the sidewalls of SiC mesa structures have previously[1] been shown to present a 1D ballistic channel at the micron scale. New 2-point measurements reveal additional quantised channels at shorter probe separations[2]. Surprisingly, these channels are localised in different regions across the ribbon width. Here we demonstrate how this distribution of channels is consistent with a model accounting for both edge zigzag magnetism and asymmetric interfaces between the SiC and nanoribbon at each edge.
