Novel Excitonic Properties of Carbon Nanotube Studied by Advanced Optical Spectroscopy

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Nano-Optics and Nanophotonics ((NON))

Abstract

Novel excitonic properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes are studied by single-nanotube spectroscopy and time-resolved spectroscopy. Due to the enhanced Coulomb interaction, the optically generated electron-hole pair forms a strongly “bound exciton” state, analogous to the hydrogen-like state in the carbon nanotubes. The exciton properties and dynamics dominate their optical properties. The striking features of excitons in the carbon nanotube, multiple-exciton states, charged exciton (trion) formation, and exciton-multiplication are described in this chapter.
