Abstract: | In this paper we study the effect of absorption peak correlation in finite length carbon nanotubes and graphene nanoribbons. It is shown, in the orthogonal π-orbital tight-binding model with the nearest neighbor approximation, that if the ribbon width is a half of the tube circumference the effect takes place for all achiral ribbons (zigzag, armchair and bearded), and corresponding tubes, starting from lengths of about 30?nm. This correlation should be useful in designing nanoribbon-based optoelectronics devices fully integrated into a single layer of graphene. |
