Graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) with atomically precise heterojunction interfaces are exploited as nanoscale light emitting devices with modulable emission frequencies. By connecting GNRs with different widths and lengths, topological boundary states can be formed and manipulated. Using first-principles-based atomistic simulations, we studied the luminescence properties of a STM GNR junction and explored the applications of these topological states as nanoscale light sources. Taking advantage of the ultrahigh resolution of the STM tip, direct injection of high energy carriers at selected boundary states can be achieved. In this way, the emission color can be controlled by precisely changing the tip position. The GNR heterojunction can therefore represent a robust and controllable light-emitting device that takes a step forward towards the fabrication of nanoscale graphene-based optoelectronic devices.

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.
