Abstract
Single-walled carbon nanotubes made by using arc-burning technique in nitrogen atmosphere were dispersed in sodium cholate (SC) solution, and the diameter and chirality distribution of semiconductive SWNTs was investigated by UV-VIS-NIR and Raman spectroscopy, and photoluminescence mapping technique. In the typical formation condition, the diameter distribution of them is found to be relatively narrow (1.2 nm–1.4 nm in diameter), less chirality dependent, almost the same as the diameter distribution of SWNTs obtained by using laser-furnace technique.
