Atomic-scale engineering of graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) provides a versatile means to tune their electronic and optical properties. We present a theoretical study of edge-modified GNRs that describe the process resulting in excitonic emission under scanning tunneling microscopy-induced luminescence (STML). The modified edge structure forms localized states in GNR similar to the end states studied formerly[1]. From the electroluminescence maps, we explore how interactions between two of these localized states change the optical properties depending on the GNR structure. For this, we construct a many-body model which describes the dynamics of tip-induced charging/discharging and relaxation that eventually leads to light emission.
