▎ 摘 要
A new approach to study the correlated femtosecond electron dynamics in finite graphene clusters, such as nanoribbons, is presented here. The systems are described by an extended Hubbard model that takes into account the overlap of adjacent orbitals and hopping between up to third-nearest neighbors. The model is solved by the nonequilibrium Green functions approach combined with different self-energy approximations, including the second-Born and GW self-energy, to take into account electronic correlations. The description allows us to predict the correlated nonequilibrium dynamics of excited graphene nanostructures of arbitrary geometry containing up to 100 carbon atoms for up to 25 fs.
