Abstract

We have carried out momentum-dependent measurements of the density response function of bulk samples of purified single wall nanotubes using electron energy-loss spectroscopy. Carbon nanotubes support both excitations between delocalized and localized electronic states. The Ï-plasmon exhibits significant q-dependence, with a dispersion relation similar to that of the graphite plane, demonstrating the graphitic nature of the nanotube electron system along the tube axis. In contrast, the interband excitations observed at low energy have vanishingly small dispersion in q. These excitations between localized states are related to characteristic interband transitions between the singularities in the nanotube electronic density of states, and can thus be used to show that our samples contain significant quantities of both semiconducting and metallic single wall nanotubes.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
