Optical Excitation of Carbon Nanotubes Drives Localized Diazonium Reactions
Covalent chemistries have been widely used to modify carbon nanomaterials; however, they typically lack the precision and efficiency required to directly engineer their optical and electronic properties. Here, we show, for the first time, that visible light which is tuned into resonance with carbon nanotubes can be used to drive their functionalization by aryldiazonium salts. The optical excita...
متن کاملOptical transitions in semiconducting zigzag carbon nanotubes with small diameters: A first-principles broad-range study
We study all possible band-to-band transitions between 12 valence and 16 conduction bands of 8,0 , 10,0 , and 7,0 nanotubes and calculate the corresponding dipole moments using first-principles methods in a wide ultraviolet-visible-infrared range of photon energies. The goal is to investigate the optical transitions and the selection rules for nanotubes with small diameters in a broad range of ...
متن کاملAdsorption and migration of carbon adatoms on zigzag carbon nanotubes
Using density-functional tight-binding and ab initio methods we study the adsorption and migration of carbon adatoms on surfaces of single-walled zigzag carbon nanotubes. We demonstrate that the adatoms form strong covalent bonds with the nanotubes and that the migration is strongly anisotropic. The adatom adsorption energy and migration barrier depend on the nanotube diameter and chirality. Th...
متن کاملZigzag carbon nanotubes with generic electron-electron interactions
A Hamiltonian is derived for a zigzag carbon nanotube with an arbitrary number of weak electron-electron charge and spin interactions, which become significant in ultraclean systems. The renormalization group and bosonization are used to determine the ground-state phase diagram. Our phase diagram contains some exotic phases which have not previously been predicted in carbon nanotubes with physi...
متن کاملCatalytic Synthesis of Carbon Nanotubes and Nanofibers
Carbon nanotubes and nanofibers are graphitic filaments/whiskers with diameters ranging from 0.4 to 500 nm and lengths in the range of several micrometers to millimeters. Carbon nanofibers and nanotubes are grown by the diffusion of carbon (via catalytic decomposition of carbon containing gases or vaporized carbon from arc discharge or laser ablation) through a metal catalyst and its subsequent...
