Scaling of excitons in graphene nanodots
Literature Information
Hao Wang
The binding energy of an exciton in a semiconductor or an insulator is known to scale linearly with εr−2, where εr is its dielectric constant. In graphene however, since the kinetic energy scales linearly with the wave number instead of its square, the exciton binding energy is thus expected to scale with εr−1. In this work we make use of the configuration interaction approach to study the properties of excitons in graphene nanodots embedded in various dielectric environments. With tens of million configurations taken into account in the calculation, we find that the exciton binding energy can be well described by a single scaling rule in which the scaling factor is found to vary with the dimension of the nanodots as well as with the on-site interaction parameter, which agrees well with a recent experiment. The linear relation of the exciton binding energy found with the quasi-particle gap also agrees with the previous work on bulk graphene and other two-dimensional materials.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
