Description

This record refers to a study on the electroluminescence of individual GNRs suspended between the tip of a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) and a Au(111) substrate. Emission spectra of such GNR junctions reveal a bright and narrow band emission of red light, whose energy can be tuned with the bias voltage applied to the junction, but always lying below the gap of infinite GNRs. Comparison with ab initio calculations indicates that the emission involves electronic states localized at the GNR termini. The results shed light on unpredicted optical transitions in GNRs. The record includes the computational data that allows to reproduce the published results.

Comparison with ab initio calculations shed light on unpredicted optical transitions in GNRs . The calculations of the optical spectra are done within Many Body perturbation Teory, using the Bethe-Salpeter Equation. The electronic properties are computed within Density Functional Theory, and the quasiparticle energies computed within the G0W0 approximation.)
