Calculation of optical constants from carbon nanotube transmission spectra

چکیده
We want to clarify a few issues about using optical absorption spectra for characterizing carbon nanotubes. The common method of using optical density for nanotube counting is reasonable in the nearinfrared and visible spectral region, but fails for the mid and far infrared, where metallic tubes can be unambigously detected. By performing Kramers–Kronig transformation on wide-range transmittance spectra of free-standing films, the far-infrared spectral region creates a unique possibility for estimating the amount of metallic tubes in different nanotube networks.

In this study we investigate the effect of atoms such as B, N, Ge and Sn on the optical and the electrical properties of capped (5, 0) zigzag carbon nanotube, using DFT calculation method. These elements were attached to the one end of the carbon nanotube. We considered four different structure designs as possible candidates for a p-n junction device. The electrical properties of these structur...

In this work, a comprehensive methodology for the fitting of single-walled carbon nanotube absorption spectra is presented. Different approaches to background subtraction, choice of line profile, and calculation of full width at half-maximum are discussed both in the context of previous literature and the contemporary understanding of carbon nanotube photophysics. The fitting is improved by the...
