Role Played by Edge-Defects in the Optical Properties of Armchair Graphene Nanoribbons

We explore the implementation of specific optical properties of armchair graphene nanoribbons (AGNRs) through edge-defect manipulation. This technique employs the tight-binding model in conjunction with the calculated absorption spectral function. Modification of the edge states gives rise to the di...
