Photoluminescence Properties of Carbon Nanotubes

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Book cover Fluorescence of Supermolecules, Polymers, and Nanosystems

Part of the book series: Springer Series on Fluorescence ((SS FLUOR,volume 4))

Abstract

Carbon nanotubes, upon surface modification through defects-targeted functionalization, exhibit strongphotoluminescence in the visible and into the near-IR region. In this chapter, the general features andpolarization characteristics of the photoluminescence are highlighted, mechanistic issues addressed, andpotential applications explored. The similarities and differences between the defect-derived emission andthe bandgap fluorescence (emission from individualized single-walled carbon nanotubes) are also discussed.
