Role of the Aharonov-Bohm Phase in the Optical Properties of Carbon Nanotubes

  • Chapter
Carbon Nanotubes

Part of the book series: Topics in Applied Physics ((TAP,volume 111))

Abstract

A brief review is given on the electronic and optical properties of carbonnanotubes with emphasis on Aharonov–Bohm effects. The topics include aneffective-mass description of the electronic states, optical absorption and excitons,their fine structure, optical absorption for perpendicular polarization, and opticalphonons.
