Dielectric response of aligned semiconducting single-wall nanotubes.

چکیده
We report measurements of the full intrinsic optical anisotropy of isolated single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). By combining absorption spectroscopy with transmission ellipsometry and polarization-dependent resonant Raman scattering, we obtain the real and imaginary parts of the SWNT permittivity from aligned semiconducting SWNTs dispersed in stretched polymer films. Our results are in agreement with theoretical predictions, highlighting the limited polarizability of excitons in a quasi-1D system.

Chemistry and electronics of carbon nanotubes go together.
One of the critical issues for the application of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) in nanoelectronics is the control of their electronic properties, which can be either metallic or semiconducting in their pristine form, depending on their diameter and chirality. Since all known preparative methods yield mixtures of metallic and semiconducting nanotubes, extensive research has been devoted ...
متن کاملSelective growth of well-aligned semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes.
High-density arrays of perfectly aligned single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) consisting almost exclusively of semiconducting nanotubes were grown on ST-cut single crystal quartz substrates. Raman spectroscopy together with electrical measurements of field effect transistors (FETs) fabricated from the as-grown samples showed that over 95% of the nanotubes in the arrays are semiconducting. The...
متن کاملPreferential syntheses of semiconducting vertically aligned single-walled carbon nanotubes for direct use in FETs.
We have combined fast heating with plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) for preferential growth of semiconducting vertically aligned single-walled carbon nanotubes (VA-SWNTs). Raman spectroscopic estimation indicated a high yield of up to 96% semiconducting SWNTs in the VA-SWNT array. The as-synthesized semiconducting SWNTs can be used directly for fabricating FET devices without t...

We studied the optical properties of aligned carbon nanotube mats for photonic device applications. We employed ab-initio density functional calculations in the linear combination of atomic orbital formalism. The calculated dielectric functions of the semiconducting carbon nanotube mats show a strong anisotropy when the electric field of the light is parallel or perpendicular to the tube axes. ...
