Chiral Optical Properties of Mobius Graphene Nanostrips.

ABSTRACT: The advancement of optical technology demands the development of chiral nanostructures with a strong dissymmetry of optical response. Here, we comprehensively analyze the chiral optical properties of circular twisted graphene nanostrips, with a particular emphasis on the case of a Möbius graphene nanostrip. We use the method of coordinate transformation to analytically model the electronic structure and optical spectra of the nanostrips, while employing the cyclic boundary conditions to account for their topology. It is found that the dissymmetry factors of twisted graphene nanostrips can reach 0.01, exceeding the typical dissymmetry factors of small chiral molecules by 1-2 orders of magnitude. The results of this work thus demonstrate that twisted graphene nanostrips of Möbius and similar
