Book excerpt: Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) have recently attracted tremendous interest as a nanomaterial for photonics and quantum photonics devices. Here we shall review recent work with a focus on quantum light properties such as blinking and spectral diffusion, and in particular, methods and techniques to suppress these detrimental effects with the goal of enhancing optical emission. Furthermore, we shall review recent work on the generation and detection of nonclassical light emissions from individual SWCNTs embedded in polymer cavities, and discuss the role of spatial exciton localization along the tube.

Book excerpt: The series Topics in Current Chemistry Collections presents critical reviews from the journal Topics in Current Chemistry organized in topical volumes. The scope of coverage is all areas of chemical science including the interfaces with related disciplines such as biology, medicine and materials science. The goal of each thematic volume is to give the non-specialist reader, whether in academia or industry, a comprehensive insight into an area where new research is emerging which is of interest to a larger scientific audience. Each review within the volume critically surveys one aspect of that topic and places it within the context of the volume as a whole. The most significant developments of the last 5 to 10 years are presented using selected examples to illustrate the principles discussed. The coverage is not intended to be an exhaustive summary of the field or include large quantities of data, but should rather be conceptual, concentrating on the methodological thinking that will allow the non-specialist reader to understand the information presented. Contributions also offer an outlook on potential future developments in the field.

This book was released on 2013-03-07 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A mechanical oscillator coupled to the optical field in a cavity is a typical cavity optomechanical system. In our textbook, we prepare to introduce the quantum optical properties of optomechanical system, i.e. linear and nonlinear effects. Some quantum optical devices based on optomechanical system are also presented in the monograph, such as the Kerr modulator, quantum optical transistor, optomechanical mass sensor, and so on. But most importantly, we extend the idea of typical optomechanical system to coupled mechanical resonator system and demonstrate that the combined two-level structure and resonator system can serve as a generalized optomechanical system. The quantum optical properties, which exist in typical system, are also presented in the combined two-level structure and resonator system.

This book was released on 2013-08-31 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This chapter describes how the semiconducting-single-wall nanotube (SWNT) extraction affects their luminescence properties and how such properties can be exploited to fabricate optical sources emitting in near-infrared wavelengths ranging from 1 to 2μm. The main applications of carbon nanotube (CNT) lasers are aimed at optical interconnects and biophotonics. We review recent achievements in obtaining optical gain in thin films doped with CNTs. Techniques for determining optical gain in CNTs are considered with particular focus on the variable strip length (VSL) method and choices to integrate nanotubes in the optical waveguide are discussed.

This book was released on 2012-12-22 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Photophysics of Carbon Nanotubes Interfaced with Organic and Inorganic Materials describes physical, optical and spectroscopic properties of the emerging class of nanocomposites formed from carbon nanotubes (CNTs) interfacing with organic and inorganic materials. The three main chapters detail novel trends in photophysics related to the interaction of light with various carbon nanotube composites from relatively simple CNT/small molecule assemblies to complex hybrids such as CNT/Si and CNT/DNA nanostructures. The latest experimental results are followed up with detailed discussions and scientific and technological perspectives to provide a through coverage of major topics including: -Light harvesting, energy conversion, photoinduced charge separation and transport in CNT based nanohybrids -CNT/polymer composites exhibiting photoactuation; and -Optical spectroscopy and structure of CNT/DNA complexes. Including original data and a short review of recent research, Photophysics of Carbon Nanotubes Interfaced with Organic and Inorganic Materials makes this emerging field of photophysics and its applications available to academics and professionals working with carbon nanotube composites in fundamental and applied fields
Download or read book Carbon Nanotubes Quantum Cylinders of Graphene written by and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2008-09-10 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is devoted to mostly to nanotubes, unique synthetic nanoscale quantum systems whose physical properties are often singular (i.e. record-setting). Nanotubes can be formed from a myriad of atomic or molecular species, the only requirement apparently being that the host material or “wall fabric be configurable as a layered or sheet-like structure. Nanotubes with sp2-bonded atoms such as carbon, or boron together with nitrogen, are the champions of extreme mechanical strength, electrical response (either highly conducting or highly insulating), and thermal conductance. Carbon nanotubes can be easily produced by a variety of synthesis techniques, and for this reason they are the most studied nanotubes, both experimentally and theoretically. Boron nitride nanotubes are much more difficult to produce and only limited experimental characterization data exist. Indeed, for boron nitride nanotubes, theory is well ahead of experiment. For these reasons this volume deals largely with carbon nanotubes. Conceptually, the "building block" for a carbon nanotube is a single sheet of graphite, called graphene. Recently, it has become possible to experimentally isolate such single sheets (either on a substrate or suspended). This capability has in turn fueled many new theoretical and experimental studies of graphene itself. It is therefore fitting that this volume contains also a chapter devoted to graphene. - Comprehension- Overview- Highlights in the field

This book was released on 2006 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Quantum dot-single wall carbon nanotube (QD-SWNT) complexes have been investigated for use in optoelectronic applications. Quantum confinement effects imbue size-dependent properties in nanomaterials which can be controlled during synthesis and exploited in devices. The physical properties inherent to semiconducting quantum dots (QDs) and single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) render their chemical combination a unique nanomaterial complex for Microsystems. Synthesis proficiency has been demonstrated for two techniques: (1) a pulsed laser vaporization process for SWNTs, and (2) wet chemistry colloidal approaches for CdSe and CuInS2 QDs. A significant fraction of the work in this Dissertation has been devoted to establishing standardized protocols for characterizing the nanomaterial properties using electron microscopy and spectroscopy. In the case of SWNTs, innovative methods have been developed to accurately assess the SWNT purity and monitor the purification steps during thermal oxidation. These results represent the first established metrics of reference for SWNT purity as well as unprecedented levels of purification efficiency. Experimental control over SWNT chiral distributions and QD particle diameter has shown where the size-dependent tunability of their optical bandgap can be used for selective absorption and emission based upon size and structure. Modification of the surface ligands on the QDs has facilitated an investigation of chemical attachment procedures to high purity SWNTs using covalent, electrostatic, and noncovalent reaction schemes. Polymeric photodiodes utilizing successful QD-SWNT complexes were fabricated and have shown the ability for select optical absorption, exciton dissociation, and charge transport. Thus, QD-SWNT complexes represent a new class of nanomaterials which are expected to impact Microsystems optoelectronic applications (e.g.color sensors, lab-on-a-chip spectrometry, smart pixels, etc.) due to wavelength selectivity, absorption sensitivity, and potential for nanoscale fabrication"--Abstract.
