We analytically study the electronic structure and optical properties of zigzag-edged phosphorene nanoribbons (ZPNRs) using the tight-binding Hamiltonian and Kubo formula. By directly solving the discrete Schrodinger equation, we obtain the energy spectra and wavefunctions forN-ZPNR (where TV is the number of transverse zigzag atomic chains) and classify the eigenstates according to the lattice symmetry. Then, we obtain the optical transition selection rule of ZPNRs on the basis of symmetry analysis and analytical expressions of optical transition matrix elements. Under incident light that is linearly polarized along the ribbon, we determine that the optical transition selection rule forN-ZPNR with even- or odd-Nis qualitatively different. Specifically, for even-NZPNRs, the inter- (intra-) band selection rule is An =odd (even) because the parity of the wavefunction corresponding to then-th subband in the conduction (valence) band is (-1)n[(-1)(n+1)] owing to the presence ofC2xsymmetry. However, the optical transitions between any subbands are possible owing to the absence ofC2xsymmetry. Our results provide a further understanding on the electronic states and optical properties of ZPNRs, which are useful for explaining the optical experiment data on ZPNR samples.
