capital pi and capital pi + sigma plasmon localization in single-walled carbon nanotube meta-materials
We have investigated the plasmon excitations and interband transitions in nematic nanotube meta-materials with different nanotube mean diameters. While the characteristic optical low-energy transitions give testimony to the differing mean diameters, the full momentum resolved capital pi as well as c...

Zusammenfassung: | We have investigated the plasmon excitations and interband transitions in nematic nanotube meta-materials with different nanotube mean diameters. While the characteristic optical low-energy transitions give testimony to the differing mean diameters, the full momentum resolved capital pi as well as capital pi + sigma plasmon response of the meta-materials is found to be entirely invariant with the nanotube diameters 1 nm < d < 2 nm. We hence demonstrate that plasmons on single-walled carbon nanotubes are fully channeled to be one dimensional in the typical range of nanotube diameters. The internal morphology of the meta-material offers a knob to uniformly tune the plasmon resonances. |
