Single Wall Carbon Nanotubes (SWCNT)
study individual tubes
These are grown using Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) method
Single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) (a) grown in the voids of an artificial opal. (b) This enabled us to wrap them with semiconductive polymer and (c) study individual tubes
Nonlinear transmission through SWCNT imbedded, order array of silica spheres.
- Upper curve - with only SWCNT.
- Lower curve - electrochemically wrapped SWCNT with polycarbazole.
The laser used was 25 ps Nd:YAG at l=1064 nm.
