A form of indirect Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida (RKKY)-like coupling between magnetic on-site impurities in armchair graphene nanoribbons is studied theoretically. The calculations are based on a tight-binding model for a finite nanoribbon system with periodic boundary conditions. A pronounced Friedel-oscillation-like dependence of the coupling magnitude on the impurity position within the nanoribbon resulting from quantum size effects is found and investigated. In particular, the distance dependence of coupling is analysed. For semiconducting nanoribbons, this dependence is exponential-like, resembling the Bloembergen-Rowland interaction. For metallic nanoribbons, interesting behaviour is found for finite length systems, in which zero-energy states make an important contribution to the interaction. In such situations, the coupling decay with distance can then be substantially slower.
