Hot charge carriers in graphene exhibit fascinating physical phenomena, whose
understanding has improved greatly over the past decade. They have distinctly different …

Polymer composites are one of the most attractive near‐term means to exploit the unique
properties of carbon nanotubes and graphene. This is particularly true for composites aimed …

Single-molecule chemical reactions with individual single-walled carbon nanotubes were
observed through near-infrared photoluminescence microscopy. The emission intensity …

Excitonic effects in the linear and nonlinear optical properties of single-walled carbon

We calculate the radiative lifetime and energy bandstructure of excitons in semiconducting
carbon nanotubes within a tight-binding approach including the electron− hole correlations …

We report correlated-electron calculations of optically excited states in ten semiconducting
single-walled carbon nanotubes with a wide range of diameters. Optical excitation occurs to …

Abstract Knowledge of excited-state dynamics in carbon nanotubes is determinant for their
prospective use in optoelectronic applications. It is known that primary photoexcitations are …

The goal of this chapter is to review the importance of excitons to single-wall carbon
nanotube (SWNT) optics. We have developed the presentation for both researchers in the …
