Optical Limiting in Single-walled Carbon Nanotube Suspensions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Optical limiting behaviour of suspensions of single-walled carbon nanotubes in water, ethanol and ethylene glycol is reported. Experiments with 532 nm, 15 nsec duration laser pulses show that optical limiting occurs mainly due to nonlinear scattering. The observed host liquid dependence of optical limiting in different suspensions suggests that the scattering originates from microbubbles formed due to absorption-induced heating.

Optical limiting and enhanced optical nonlinearity in boron-doped carbon nanotubes
The optical limiting characteristics of pure and boron-doped multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) are studied and compared at wavelengths of 532 and 1064 nm. Fluence-dependent transmission and Z-scan measurements using 8 ns pulses show that the boron-doped MWNT suspensions exhibit a stronger optical nonlinearity with fluence than pure carbon nanotube suspensions in both the visible and near-in...
متن کاملStructure-assigned optical spectra of single-walled carbon nanotubes.
Spectrofluorimetric measurements on single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) isolated in aqueous surfactant suspensions have revealed distinct electronic absorption and emission transitions for more than 30 different semiconducting nanotube species. By combining these fluorimetric results with resonance Raman data, each optical transition has been mapped to a specific (n,m) nanotube structure. Op...
متن کاملSingle Walled Carbon Nanotube Effects on Mixed Convection heat Transfer in an Enclosure: a LBM Approach
The effects of Single Walled Carbon Nanotube (SWCNT) on mixed convection in a cavity are investigated numerically. The problem is studied for different Richardson numbers (0.1-10), volume fractions of nanotubes (0-1%), and aspect ratio of the cavity (0.5-2.5) when the Grashof number is equal to 103. The volume fraction of added nanotubes to Water as base fluid are lowers than 1% to make dilute ...
متن کاملThe mechanism of cavitation-induced scission of single-walled carbon nanotubes.
Aqueous suspensions of length selected single-walled carbon nanotubes were studied by atomic force microscopy (AFM) in order to probe the influence of sonication on nanotube scission. The maximum of the tube length distribution, lM, initially exhibits a power law dependence on the sonication time, t - roughly as lM approximately t(-0.5). This and the limiting behavior observed at longer times c...
متن کاملPhotocatalysis-induced selective decoration of semiconducting single walled carbon nanotubes: hole-doping effect.
We have examined the time-dependent effect of the titanium oxide photocatalysis on N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone individually dispersed single walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) suspensions. From optical spectroscopic studies, we found a selective decoration of the semiconducting tubes. Such selectivity is attributed to the preferential attack of the photogenerated active species on the hole-doped semicond...
