Understanding and Directing Energy Flow Using Semiconducting Carbon Nanotubes
Abstract
The objectives of this proposal are to use a combination of cutting-edge spectroscopy and novel materials development to study energy flow in single-walled carbon nanotubes of selected chirality and to engineer films that guide flow in specified directions. The goal is to control the conformations and couplings so that the carbon nanotubes in the films act as atomic-scale wires or as exciton funnels like plants and bacteria use to rapidly and efficiently route energy.
