Optical Selection Rules for Zigzag Graphene Nanoribbons
Optical Selection Rules for Zigzag Graphene Nanoribbons
This Demonstration presents a complex analysis of the wavefunction parity and optical selection rules for zigzag graphene nanoribbons (ZGNRs). Selection rules are illustrated for optical transition matrix elements of a linearly polarized light. The plane of polarization of the incident light is parallel to the ribbon's longitudinal axis.
