Exciton dephasing and multiexciton recombinations in a single carbon nanotube
We studied the temperature and excitation intensity dependence of exciton luminescence in individual single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) using single nanotube photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The linear temperature dependence of the PL linewidth in a single SWNT implies that the exciton dephasing is dominated by the interaction between the exciton and the phonon mode with very low energy...
متن کاملPure optical dephasing dynamics in semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes.
We report a detailed study of ultrafast exciton dephasing processes in semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes employing a sample highly enriched in a single tube species, the (6,5) tube. Systematic measurements of femtosecond pump-probe, two-pulse photon echo, and three-pulse photon echo peak shift over a broad range of excitation intensities and lattice temperature (from 4.4 to 292 K) e...
متن کاملUltrafast exciton dephasing in semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes.
Femtosecond two-pulse degenerate four-wave mixing spectroscopy was applied to study the exciton dephasing in a broad range of excitation intensities and lattice temperatures. We find that both exciton-exciton and exciton-phonon scattering have profound effects on the dephasing process. The dominant phonon mode involved in the dephasing is identified as the out-of-plane, transverse optical mode ...
متن کاملElastic exciton-exciton scattering in photoexcited carbon nanotubes.
We report on original nonlinear spectral hole-burning experiments in single wall carbon nanotubes that bring evidence of pure dephasing induced by exciton-exciton scattering. We show that the collision-induced broadening in carbon nanotubes is controlled by exciton-exciton scattering as for Wannier excitons in inorganic semiconductors, while the population relaxation is driven by exciton-excito...
متن کاملExciton-exciton annihilation and relaxation pathways in semiconducting carbon nanotubes.
We present a thorough analysis of one- and two-color transient absorption measurements performed on single- and double-walled semiconducting carbon nanotubes. By combining the currently existing models describing exciton-exciton annihilation-the coherent and the diffusion-limited ones-we are able to simultaneously reproduce excitation kinetics following both E11 and E22 pump conditions. Our sim...
