A graphene nanoribon (GNR) usually is defined by N-GNR where N is the width and is measured in atomic rows. My question (which is a curiosity) is ... How many N should my GNR have to be considered graphene and not a GNR anymore? I can see that after 12-15 atomic rows the gap visually closes. From this moment onward we should assume to have graphene? 

By the way, why is quantum hall effect so important? I do not really get the idea!
