Probing optical transitions in individual carbon nanotubes using polarized photocurrent spectroscopy.
Carbon nanotubes show vast potential to be used as building blocks for photodetection applications. However, measurements of fundamental optical properties, such as the absorption coefficient and the dielectric constant, have not been accurately performed on a single pristine carbon nanotube. Here we show polarization-dependent photocurrent spectroscopy, performed on a p-n junction in a single ...
متن کاملField-enhanced photocurrent spectroscopy of excitonic states in single-wall carbon nanotubes.
Excitonic and free-carrier transitions in single-wall carbon nanotubes are distinguished using field-enhanced photocurrent spectroscopy. Electric field dissociation allows for the detection of bound-exciton states that otherwise would not contribute to the photocurrent. Excitonic states associated with both the ground-state semiconductor and the ground-state metallic nanotube transitions are re...
متن کاملPhotoexcitation of the triplet exciton in single wall carbon nanotubes
The carbon nanotube photoexcitation spectrum is dominated by excitonic transitions, rather than interband transitions between continuum states. There are eight distinct excitonic transitions (four singlet and four triplet), each with two-fold degeneracy. Because the triplet excitons are spin polarized with electron and hole spins both pointing in the same direction, they are optically inactive,...
متن کاملPhotocurrent Quantum Yield in Suspended Carbon Nanotube p-n Junctions.
We study photocurrent generation in individual suspended carbon nanotube p-n junctions using spectrally resolved scanning photocurrent microscopy. Spatial maps of the photocurrent allow us to determine the length of the p-n junction intrinsic region, as well as the role of the n-type Schottky barrier. We show that reverse-bias operation eliminates complications caused by the n-type Schottky bar...
متن کاملExciton dissociation and stark effect in the carbon nanotube photocurrent spectrum.
The field-dependent photocurrent spectrum of individual carbon nanotubes is measured using a displacement photocurrent technique. A series of peaks is observed in the photocurrent corresponding to both excitonic and free carrier transitions. The photocurrent peak corresponding to the ground state exciton increases by a factor of 200 beyond a critical electric field, and shows both red and blue ...
