Environmental Effect on the UV Optical Absorption of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes
Yoichi Murakami, Shigeo Maruyama
We studied optical absorption of single-walled carbon nanotubes by varying the dielectric environment. For the two different components of the broad UV absorption feature conventio…

Acetylene-Accelerated Alcohol Catalytic CVD Growth of Vertically Aligned Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes
R. Xiang, E. Einarsson, J. Okawa +2
Addition of only 1% of acetylene into ethanol was found to enhance the growth rate of singlewalled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) by up to ten times. Since acetylene is a byproduct of th…

Photoluminescence sidebands of carbon nanotubes below the bright singlet excitonic levels: Coupling between dark excitons and K-point phonons
Yoichi Murakami, Benjamin Lu, Said Kazaoui +3
We performed detailed photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy studies of three different types of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) by using samples that contain essentially only…
