Plasmon Dispersion

AbstractSurface plasmons, collective electromagnetic excitations coupled to conduction electron oscillations, enable the manipulation of light–matter interactions at the nanoscale. Plasmon dispersion of metallic structures depends sensitively on their dimensionality and has been intensively studied for fundamental physics as well as applied technologies. Here, we report possible evidence for gate-tunable hybrid plasmons from the dimensionally mixed coupling between one-dimensional (1D) carbon nanotubes and two-dimensional (2D) graphene. In contrast to the carrier density-independent 1D Luttinger liquid plasmons in bare metallic carbon nanotubes, plasmon wavelengths in the 1D-2D heterostructure are modulated by 75% via electrostatic gating while retaining the high figures of merit of 1D plasmons. We propose a theoretical model to describe the electromagnetic interaction between plasmons in nanotubes and graphene, suggesting plasmon hybridization as a possible origin for the observed large plasmon modulation. The mixed-dimensional plasmonic heterostructures may enable diverse designs of tunable plasmonic nanodevices.

AbstractWe analyze the dependence of the second-order G'-band profile in terms of their (n,m) indices by measuring the resonance Raman spectra of several semiconducting and metalic isolated single wal carbon nanotubes. We show that this profile is very sensitive to the electronic structure, thus making it possible to get structural (n,m) information and to probe the splitting of the van Hove singularities in the electronic density of states due to the trigona warping effect.

Differential Solubility

Single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) have drawn considerable attention from the scientific community based on their potentially unique 1-D electronic and optical properties as well as mechanical properties. These characteristics result from the one dimensional quantum wire structure of CNTs, which have the spike-like van Hove singularities (vHs) in the electronic density of states. The detailed shape of the density of states function depends sensitively on CNT type semiconducting (sem-) versus metallic (met-)), diameter and chirality. Using the preferential affinity of amines towards sem -SWNTs, our group has been able to attain bulk separation by type based on a differential solubility of SWNTs according to the amine organization interaction on the nanotube surface. It has been argued that stable dispersions of sem -SWNTs with surfactant-amines originate from the organization of the aliphatic chain along the nanotube sidewalls, along with a small amount of zwitterions. The separation of sem-enriched SWNTs assisted by octadecylamine (ODA) had been depicted in the form of either small amount of zwitterionic interaction between carboxylic acid groups of acid-purified SWNTs or the physisorption on the SWNTs sidewall, leaving met -SWNTs in the precipitate.

Structural And Electronic Properties

The structural and electronic properties of optimized open-ended single-wall carbon nanotubes with zigzag geometry have been investigated. The calculations were performed using molecular mechanics, extended Hückel, and AM1–RHF semiempirical molecular orbital methods. It has been found that the density of states of the zigzag model is sensitive to the tube size and changes as the tube length increases. On the other hand the energetics of the tube shows an almost linear dependence to the tube length, and a converging characteristics with respect to the number of hexagons forming the tube.
