AbstractWe show that low-energy (20 eV–20 keV) electron or photon irradiation extinguishes the characteristic physical and chemical properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes, indicating that the irradiation damages the nanotubes. The irradiation-induced defects convert the electric properties of metallic SWNTs to semiconducting, and the nominal bandgap can be tuned simply by the irradiation dose. The defects also have the following interesting properties. The damage and recovery are reversible, indicating that the number of carbon atoms is preserved. The damage and recovery strongly depend on the diameter, suggesting that the damage is prominent in a rolled up graphene sheet, but not in a planar one. The activation energy of the defect healing is so small, depending on the diameter, that the defects can be healed even at room temperature or below.

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), which possess electrical and thermal conductivity, mechanical strength, and flexibility, and are ultra-light weight, are an outstanding material for applications in nanoelectronics, photovoltaics, thermoelectric power generation, light emission, electrochemical energy storage, catalysis, sensors, spintronics, magnetic recording, and biomedicine. Applications of SWCNTs require nanotube samples with precisely controlled and customized electronic properties. The filling of SWCNTs is a promising approach in the fine-tuning of their electronic properties because a large variety of substances with appropriate physical and chemical properties can be introduced inside SWCNTs. The encapsulation of electron donor or acceptor substances inside SWCNTs opens the way for the Fermi-level engineering of SWCNTs for specific applications. This paper reviews the recent progress in applications of filled SWCNTs and highlights challenges that exist in the field.
