摘要
The exciton effects in 1-nm-wide armchair graphene nanoribbons (AGNRs) under the uniaxial strain were studied within the nonorthogonal tight-binding (TB) model, supplemented by the long-range Coulomb interactions. The obtained results show that both the excitation energy and exciton binding energy are modulated by the uniaxial strain. The variation of these energies depends on the ribbon family. In addition, the results show that the variation of the exciton binding energy is much weaker than the variation of excitation energy. Our results provide new guidance for the design of optomechanical systems based on graphene nanoribbons.
