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.

Electronic and optical properties of Type-II lead based core/shell semiconducting quantum dots are reported. Binding energies of electron–hole pair, optical transition energies and the absorption coefficients are investigated taking into account the geometrical confinement in PbSe/PbS core/shell quantum dot nanostructure. The energies are obtained with the increase of shell thickness for various inner core radii. The probability densities of electron and hole wave functions of radial coordinate of the core PbSe and PbS shell quantum dots are presented. The optical transition energy with the spatial confinement is brought out. The electronic properties are obtained using variational approach whereas the compact density matrix method is employed for the nonlinear optical properties. The results show that (i) a decrease in binding energy is obtained when the shell thickness increases due to more separation of electron–hole pair and (ii) the energy band gap decreases with the increase in the shell thickness resulting in the reduction of the higher energy interband transitions.
