Radiative Lifetime of Excitons in Carbon Nanotubes
arXiv:cond-mat/0506775 · doi:10.1021/nl051828s
Abstract
We calculate the radiative lifetime and energy bandstructure of excitons in semiconducting carbon nanotubes, within a tight-binding approach. In the limit of rapid interband thermalization, the radiative decay rate is maximized at intermediate temperatures, decreasing at low temperature because the lowest-energy excitons are optically forbidden. The intrinsic phonons cannot scatter excitons between optically active and forbidden bands, so sample-dependent extrinsic effects that break the symmetries can play a central role. We calculate the diameter-dependent energy splittings between singlet and triplet excitons of different symmetries, and the resulting dependence of radiative lifetime on temperature and tube diameter.
