Photoluminescence from an individual double-walled carbon nanotube

Abstract: We report direct and unambiguous evidence of the existence of inner semiconducting tube (ISCT) photoluminescence (PL) from measurements performed on four individual freestanding index-identified double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWNTs). Based on thorough Rayleigh scattering, Raman scattering, and PL experiments, we are able to demonstrate that the ISCT PL is observed with a quantum yield estimated to be a few 10 −6 independent of the semiconducting or metallic nature of the outer tube. This result is mainly attr… Show more

“…Albeit the great difficulties, this approach is the most rewarding one in terms of crossinformation gained from the use of multitude of techniques and is therefore an important vector in studying the structurefunction relationship of nanomaterials in general and nanotubes, in particular. [127][128][129][130][131][132] Equally important is the fact that, recent advances in ab-initio calculations permits quantitative comparison between theory and experimental results of individual nanotubes, which was not there two decades ago.…”

“…In our case we used ethanol and water vapor during the growth stage together with the sufficient amount of the main precursor – acetylene. The long individual semiconducting nanotubes with the strong optical signals can serve as the reference model for the testing of the excitonic properties of hybrid materials created by filling channels of SWCNTs …”

“…A well-known consequence of such rapid nonradiative decay is the photoluminescence quenching of the inner layers of DWCNTs, which leads to at least four orders of magnitude decrease of the PL intensity relative to freestanding SWCNTs. [24] In principle, this quenching can be manipulated through 1D heterostructure engineering, e.g., using insulating outer boron nitride layers instead of a CNT layer, as will be discussed further in other sections of this review.…”

“…It led to the most significant discoveries of the effect of vdW coupling on DWCNT properties. [19][20][21][22][23][24][25] This vdW coupling can affect the heterostructure properties both from the "inside" and "outside." For instance, throughout the years, the hollow inner space of SWCNTs has generated much creativity in designing new heterostructures by encapsulation of various materials.…”
