Bright Photoluminescence from the Inner Tubes of "Peapod"-Derived Double-Walled Carbon Nanotubes

Bright Photoluminescence from the Inner Tubes of "Peapod"-Derived Double-Walled Carbon Nanotubes

The first observation of bright photoluminescence (PL) corresponding to the inner tubes of double‐walled carbon nanotubes (DWNTs) prepared by thermal treatment of fullerene‐encapsulated nanotubes at temperatures of 1700–2000°C is reported (see image). The results suggest that DWNTs could replace sin...

Zusammenfassung:The first observation of bright photoluminescence (PL) corresponding to the inner tubes of double‐walled carbon nanotubes (DWNTs) prepared by thermal treatment of fullerene‐encapsulated nanotubes at temperatures of 1700–2000°C is reported (see image). The results suggest that DWNTs could replace single‐walled NTs in biomarker and optoelectronics applications due to their strong and stable luminescence properties.
