Optical and Vibrational Properties of Boron Nitride Nanotubes
نویسندگان
چکیده
As for carbon nanotubes, optical and vibrational spectroscopy in particular Raman and luminescence spectroscopy play an important role for the characterization of BN nanotubes. In this chapter we review, from a theoretical view point, the different spectroscopic techniques that are currently used for BN-nanotubes and make a close link with available experimental data. We summarize experimental and theoretical data on optical absorption spectroscopy, luminescence spectroscopy, electron-energy loss spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and infrared absorption spectroscopy. The combination of all those methods allows for a fairly complete characterization of the electronic structure and the vibrational properties of BN tubes. Possible applications in optoelectronic devices are briefly discussed.

We present ab initio calculations of phonons in single-wall boron–nitride (BN) nanotubes. Raman and infrared (IR) active modes of isolated and infinitely long tubes are evaluated according to the nonsymmorphic rod groups of BN nanotubes. For tubes of finite length, the selection rules are less restrictive and give rise to additional modes, which may be observed in Raman and IR spectroscopy with...
