Two-dimensional spectroscopy of individual single-wall carbon nanotubes — •Ulrike Selig, Nadja Bertleff, Dominik Stich, Tobias Hertel, and Tobias Brixner — Institut für Physikalische Chemie, Universität Würzburg, Am Hubland, 97074 Würzburg
Possible applications as nano-electronic devices or in new composite materials have caused considerable interest in carbon nanotubes and their unique electronic and mechanical properties [1,2]. One of the outstanding features of individual single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNT) is their quasi one-dimensional (1D) band-structure.
Here we present first results of degenerate pump–probe experiments and two-dimensional spectra of (6,5) SWNTs excited with 30fs pulses with a center wavelength of 565nm, along with an interpretation of the observed relaxation processes from the S2 electronic state.
