Engineering the De-localized States of Graphene Quantum Dots
Employing a combination of many-body configuration interaction method described by extended Hubbard model along with first principle calculations we predict the emergence of high oscillator strength at near-IR region which originates from the Davydov type of splitting in doped graphene quantum dots (GQD). Incorporation of strain in GQD promotes closely spaced bright states inciting for coherent excitation. Controlling the destructive interference of the functionalized nano graphene quantum states, the dark states can be tuned towards red end ensuing the system as a good candidate for photocell whereas coherent states can be tailored to concentrate the light at very high intensity resulting an opportunity for photonic device
