The most common outcome of covalent treatments of carbon nanotubes is the conversion of sp2 carbon atoms into their sp3 hybridization state. Even mild approaches interrupt the conjugation of the carbon network with detrimental effects on their optoelectronic properties. Cycloaddition reactions establish covalent bonds through pi-electrons to bridge targeted functionalities onto the tubes. The carbon atoms below the bridge are converted into the sp3 state (closed configuration, Fig. 1a) or, if the C-C bond below the bridge is released, keep their sp2 character (open configuration, Fig. 1b) and preserve the overall conjugation of the extended network. We have recently demonstrated that the outcome of a triazine-based [2+1] cycloaddition reaction results in the open configuration (Fig. 1c) and preserves the intrinsic properties of the tubes, even at high degrees of functionalization (4%) [1]. Here we will highlight some of the benefits of this approach, such as the preservation of their radiative emission (Fig. 1d) or the fine-tuning of the position of their Fermi levels. We will moreover discuss how the functionalized tubes can be exploited as starting platform for advanced materials. We show how the attachment of molecular systems makes them integrating part and in electronic communication with the conjugated network of the tubes, yielding new ways to non-perturbatively tailor, control, and alter the optical response of the tubes for novel applications. The conjugation of the molecular switch spyropiran-merocyanine, for example, enables controlled on-off switching of the tubes’ emission to be exploited for nanotubes-based super-resolution microscopy.

Electrically generated light emission from carbon nanotubes is of great interest for the development of nanoscale on-chip electro-optical transducers and single-photon sources [1,2], operating in the telecom band and at GHz frequency [3]. To further advance device performance, reproducibility and reliability we need to better understand and control the mechanism of light generation, tailor the interface between the nanotube and environment and to locally modify nanotube properties with nanoscale precision. In my presentation I will report on our current efforts in this direction and present latest results.

Single-walled carbon nanotubes are a promising material as quantum light sources at room temperature and as nanoscale light sources for integrated photonic circuits on silicon. Here we discuss the use of carbon nanotubes as room-temperature single photon emitters from two different approaches. The first is where efficient exciton-exciton annihilation process [1] is used to reduce the number of mobile excitons. We investigate photon statistics in as-grown individual air-suspended carbon nanotubes and perform theoretical analysis to show that diffusion-driven annihilation of mobile excitons can produce high-purity single photons [2]. In the second approach where exciton trapping sites are created to localize excitons [3], we demonstrate integration of carbon nanotube dopant states to silicon photonic crystal microcavities [4]. The coupling of the dopant emission to the microcavity results in an increase of photoluminescence by a factor of ~100, corresponding to a single-photon emission rate of 1.7 x 10^7 Hz which is the highest reported for room-temperature operation of nanotube single photon sources. Our results show that both diffusive (1D) and localized (0D) excitons in carbon nanotubes can produce high quality single photons at room temperature, opening up a pathway to quantum light sources with additional functionality and flexibility.

We have previously reported on the efficient harvesting of excitons from photoexcited, semiconducting nanotube thin films. The films are interfaced with C60 fullerenes to form a type-II heterojunction with band offsets that exceed the exciton binding energy. Excitons photogenerated near the heterointerface are dissociated into separable electrons (which transfer to C60) and holes (which remain on the nanotubes) with quantum efficiency ≈ 90%. This behavior has promise for creating nanotube photoabsorber-based photovoltaic solar cells and photodetectors. However, the efficiency by which excitons can be dissociated remains high only when the nanotube films are thin (5 nm in thickness). The efficiency rapidly decreases as the nanotube film thickness increases, due to poor inter-nanotube exciton migration. Here, we present on recent work designed to understand and improve exciton migration in coupled nanotube films via theory [1] and experiments [2-4]. We have calculated exciton transfer rates due to Coulomb coupling between nanotubes of varying orientations considering both first- and second-order (phonon-assisted) processes. Second-order dark-to-bright inter-nanotube transfer is as fast as both first and second order bright-to-bright transfer. This important result shows that dark excitonic states are able to efficiently and directly transfer between nanotubes in films.[1] We have tested the hypothesis that poor inter-nanotube exciton migration in films can be attributed to quenching by defects via experiments in which (i) diazonium defects are intentionally added to nanotubes at known concentrations [2] and in which (ii) nanotubes are prepared via three different processes of decreasing harshness: extended ultrasonication, brief ultrasonication, and shear force mixing [3]. Inter-nanotube exciton transfer is then characterized via photoluminescence-, transient absorption-, and device photocurrent spectroscopies. Our results show that poor out-of-plane exciton diffusion depth can be attributed in large part due to losses that arise from the trapping and quenching of excitons by defects induced during processing. Other photovoltaic parameters including fill-factor and open-circuit voltage also improve with decreasing processing harshness. [1] A.H. Davoody, M.S. Arnold, I. Knezevic et al., J. Phys. Chem.

09:00 - 09:30
Due to their favorable and rich electronic and optical properties, group-VI-B transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have attracted considerable interest. They have earned their position in the materials portfolio of the spintronics and valleytronics communities. The electrical performance of TMDs will be enhanced by rolling up the two-dimensional (2D) sheets to form quasi-one-dimensional (1D) tubular structures. Actually, the TMD nanotubes were first synthesized back in 1992 [1], but only recently device related researches have been conducted [2].In this presentation, we discuss transport and optoelectronic properties ranging from field effect transistor (FET) operation to solar cell actions in tungsten disulfide multiwalled nanotubes (WS2-NT). We first fabricated electric double layer transistor (EDLT) of an individual WS2-NT and found an ambipolar operation, in sharp contrast to the solid gated FET devices which exhibits only n-type conduction. Furthermore, we found that gating with KClO4/polyethylene glycol electrolyte, induce superconductivity at Tc = 5.8 K. This is the first superconductivity in the individual nanotube structure. Importantly, this superconductivity of gated WS2 exhibited peculiar transport properties arising only from tublar and chiral structure [3]. Using the EDLT devices, we were able to fabricate a p-n junction in an individual WS2-NT, and found that this p-n junction shows current-driven light emission, and photovoltaic actions. Both of these actions are linearly polarized along the NT axis, and more importantly, the external quantum efficiency for the photovoltaic effect reaches a value as high as 4.8%, exceeding by far that of 2D TMDs and even approaching the internal quantum efficiency of the 2D TMDs [4].

The measurement of biomarkers, drugs, and metabolites in live cells and organisms would allow for improvements in disease detection, drug development, and biomedical research. Single-walled carbon nanotubes have suitable optical properties for application as sensors for use in live cells and in vivo, including narrow, near-infrared emission bands with sensitivity to the local environment. To develop them into sensors for bioanalytes, we devised new methods to probe single-walled carbon nanotube optical properties, including near-infrared hyperspectral imaging and live-tissue excitation/emission spectroscopy. We also identified a new mechanism of carbon nanotube photoluminescence environmental responsivity, whereby electrostatic charges mediate spectral red-shifting. We believe that this effect is consistent with previous findings of carbon nanotube solvatochromic behavior. We found that this mechanism facilitates the measurement of multiple classes of bioanaltytes, such as nucleic acids, drugs, and proteins, enabling the development of in vivo implantable sensors for the study and detection of cancer.

The doping of semiconductors is key for providing electronic and photonic devices with their desired functionality. This comes with the realization, that the failure to successfully dope certain classes of materials “is an important bottleneck for the technological utilization of these materials” in electronic or photonic devices, as succinctly expressed by Zunger [1]. This concern also pertains to the doping of semiconducting single-wall carbon nanotubes (s-SWNTs) where our ability to provide stable and measured concentrations of surplus carriers remains a major challenge. Current approaches to doping of s-SWNTs are mostly designed around redox chemistry or covalent modification with electron pulling or pushing side-chain functionalities while the use of substitutional impurities has hardly been explored for the purpose of electronic enhancement. Despite the importance of doping for device technologies, however, it appears that our ability to quantify the concentration of impurity site concentrations or their effectiveness in providing surplus free carriers is still rather limited. To address these shortcomings we have performed spectroscopic investigations of redox-and electrochemically doped (6,5) s-SWNT samples using fluorescence and absorption spectroscopy [2]. Spectroscopically, there appears to be no noticeable difference between these two approaches. In both cases, exciton bands are found to broaden, become asymmetric and shift to higher energies when the electrochemical potential is shifted toward valence or conduction band edges. These observations are consistent with confinement of excitons by a stochastic distribution of impurities, suggesting that doping is in-homogeneous rather than homogeneous. Moreover, our analysis suggests that the interaction of minority carriers with external counterions can provide deep traps in the band gap which act as ‘killer defects’, capturing free charge carriers and effectively preventing the desired homogenous doping. We also discuss how the analysis of exciton absorption bands can be applied to quantify impurity level concentrations. In the context of optical spectroscopy this allows to define and clearly distinguish between intrinsic-, weak-, moderate- and heavy-doping regimes. The onset of degenerate s-SWNT doping is determined to be at about ± 0.1 e/nm. The observed generation of deep charge traps by adsorbed counterions can largely be attributed to weak dielectric screening of Coulomb interactions by SWNTs or their environment, a common characteristic of low-dimensional systems. We take this as evidence for serious fundamental challenges which may have far reaching and possibly broader implications for the successful fabrication of functional semiconductor devices from nanoscale materials. 1.

The inner cavity of nanotubes has been used as a template for the encapsulation of elongated dyes molecules, such as polythiophenes (6T). The 1D confinement of the nanotube wall drives the stacking of the molecules and induces original aggregation effects in their optical properties [1,2]. When confined inside a carbon nanotube, the organics dyes exhibit for instance a surprisingly strong Raman signal clear of its luminescence emission due to an efficiently quenching effect from the nanotube [3]. Here we show that boron nitride nanotubes (Eg~5 eV) having inner diameters between 1 nm to 5 nm provide similar 1D confinement effects with the difference that they preserve the luminescence of the dyes. The resulting 1D nanohybrids (dye@BNNT) shows in photoluminescence imaging experiments strong and tunable luminescence emissions depending on the dyes used. Experiments on individual dyes@BNNT demonstrate that the BNNT protect the dyes against oxidation and reduce significantly the dyes photobleaching under continuous photo-excitation. Preliminary results on Daphnia Pulex colored with dyes@BNNT suggest that these dye@BNNT nanoprobes have reduced toxicity for multimodal imaging based on Raman and luminescence and that they can be adapted to work in the NIR I window to study biological materials.

Control over doping of semiconducting Single-Wall Carbon Nanotubes (SWNTs) by (electro-) chemical methods and intrinsic impurities are considered to be crucial for future applications of SWNTs in carbon-based electronics and photonics. Previous indirect all-optical techniques hypothesize charge carrier localization in semiconducting (6,5)-SWNTs following redox chemical AuCl3 doping, which is indicated by spectral and dynamical changes of the S1 exciton band [1]. Here, we present direct quantitative investigations of chemical impurities by means of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). For the as-produced (6,5)-SWNT samples we detected very low signal intensities stemming from two separate radical-like, isolated spin contributions that we assign to defects or residual impurities and which may be associated with what is sometimes referred to as intrinsic p-doping. Their concentration indicates exceptional nanotube quality with only few paramagnetic species per µm nanotube. Upon addition of the doping agent (AuCl3)2 we observe a linear increase of the EPR signal intensity which we ascribe to localized p-type impurities on the nanotube. However, at higher doping concentrations, the observed signal saturates, before decreasing again and finally vanishing at the highest AuCl3 concentrations. This seemingly puzzling result can be understood in terms of the formation of EPR silent, diamagnetic bi-radicals which start to appear at moderate doping concentrations. We model this behaviour with a stochastic formation of impurity sites in a 1D lattice, yielding good agreement with experimental data. In conclusion, we can confirm charge carrier confinement at low impurity concentrations in SWNTs with potentially far reaching implications for future device applications.

Semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (s-SWCNTs) are attractive absorbers for use in solar energy harvesting schemes because of their strong and energetically tunable optical absorption, and high charge carrier mobilities due to the delocalized nature of the π-electron system. Beyond their technological potential, s-SWCNTs offer attractive properties for fundamental studies of charge generation in strongly confined nanoscale systems and photoinduced electron transfer (PET) processes. For example, strong quantum confinement and low dielectric screening impart single-walled carbon nanotubes with exciton-binding energies substantially exceeding kBT at room temperature. Additionally, the energetically narrow and distinct spectroscopic signatures for excitons and charges within s-SWCNT thin films enables the unambiguous temporal tracking of fundamental photophysical processes occuring at important photoactive heterojunctions designed for charge separation. In this presentation, I will discuss recent studies that probe the generation and recombination of long-lived charges in samples consisting of heterojunctions between s-SWCNTs and various electron acceptors, both organic and inorganic. I will focus on the roles of important interfacial properties that can influence the kinetics and efficiency of the interfacial PET process and recombination of the resulting separated charges. These properties include the energetic energetic driving force for exciton dissociation, the amount of residual wrapping polymer on the highly enriched s-SWCNTs, the local dielectric enrivonrment, the presence or absence of an electric field, and geometrical factors of the interface that can be modified via structural properties of the acceptors. Better fundamental understanding of these model interfaces can inform the design of more efficient solar energy harvesting systems, photodetectors, and other opto-electronic devices.
