摘要: Photoconductivity in individual semiconducting single-wall carbon nanotubes was investigated using a confocal scanning optical microscope. The magnitude of the photocurrent found to increase linearly with laser intensity, and be maximum for parallel orientation between light polarization tube axis. Larger currents were obtained upon illuminating tubes at 514.5 nm comparison those 647.1 nm, consistent having resonant absorption energy former wavelength. Moreover, determination photoresponse as function position along single has proven useful tool monitor local electronic structure effects.
