    Effects of Long-Range Disorder and Electronic Interactions on the Optical Properties of Graphene Quantum Dots
    (American Physical Society, 2017) Altıntaş, Abdulmenaf; Çakmak, K. E.; Güçlü, Alev Devrim
    We theoretically investigate the effects of long-range disorder and electron-electron interactions on the optical properties of hexagonal armchair graphene quantum dots consisting of up to 10 806 atoms. The numerical calculations are performed using a combination of tight-binding, mean-field Hubbard, and configuration interaction methods. Imperfections in the graphene quantum dots are modeled as a long-range random potential landscape, giving rise to electron-hole puddles. We show that, when the electron-hole puddles are present, the tight-binding method gives a poor description of the low-energy absorption spectra compared to mean-field and configuration interaction calculation results. As the size of the graphene quantum dot is increased, the universal optical conductivity limit can be observed in the absorption spectrum. When disorder is present, the calculated absorption spectrum approaches the experimental results for isolated monolayers of graphene sheets.

    Theory of Optical Properties of Graphene Quantum Dots
    (John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2016) Özfidan, Işıl; Güçlü, Alev Devrim; Korkusinski, Marek; Hawrylak, Pawel
    We present here a theory of the optical properties of graphene quantum dots (GQDs) with tunable band gaps by lateral size confinement, from UV to THz. Starting from the Hartree-Fock ground state, we construct the correlated many-body ground and excited states of GQDs as a linear combination of a finite number of electron-hole pair excitations. We discuss the evolution of the band gap with size and its renormalization by self-energy and excitonic effects. We calculate and analyze the dipole moments of graphene quantum dots that possess a degenerate valence and conduction band edge, and construct a characteristic exciton and biexciton spectrum. We find an exciton band consisting of a pair of robust, spin singlet bright exciton states and a band of dark, spin singlet and spin triplet, exciton states at lower energies. We predict a characteristic band of biexciton levels at the band edge, discuss the Auger processes and identify a biexciton-exciton cascade. Our theoretical results are compared with experimental linear absorption and non-linear transient absorption spectra of colloidal GQDs. We next discuss the optical properties of triangular GQDs with zigzag edges whose magnetic moment can be controlled by gates. The control over the magnetic moment through carrier density manipulation results in optical spin blockade and gate tunable optical properties over a wide range of photon energies.
