Journal ArticleDOI
Solution Properties of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes
TL;DR: Both ionic and covalent solution-phase chemistry with concomitant modulation of the SWNT band structure were demonstrated to study the effects of chemical modifications on the band gaps of theSWNTs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diameter-Selective Raman Scattering from Vibrational Modes in Carbon Nanotubes
Apparao M. Rao,Ernst Richter,Shunji Bandow,Bruce Chase,Peter C. Eklund,Keith A. Williams,S. Fang,K. R. Subbaswamy,Madhu Menon,Andreas Thess,Richard E. Smalley,Gene Dresselhaus,Mildred S. Dresselhaus +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the Raman spectra of single wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) were studied using laser excitation wavelengths in the range from 514.5 to 1320 nanometers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Large-scale purification of single-wall carbon nanotubes: process, product, and characterization
Andrew G. Rinzler,Jie Liu,Hongjie Dai,Pavel Nikolaev,Chad B. Huffman,Fernando J. Rodríguez-Macías,Peter J. Boul,A.H. Lu,Dieter Heymann,Daniel T. Colbert,R. S. Lee,John E. Fischer,Apparao M. Rao,P. C. Eklund,Richard E. Smalley +14 more
TL;DR: A readily scalable purification process capable of handling single-wall carbon nanotube (SWNT) material in large batches, which should greatly facilitate investigation of material properties intrinsic to the nanotubes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for charge transfer in doped carbon nanotube bundles from Raman scattering
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of exposing single-walled carbon nanotubes to typical electron-donor (potassium, rubidium) and electron-acceptor (iodine, bromine) dopants were investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photoinduced Polymerization of Solid C60 Films
Apparao M. Rao,Ping Zhou,Kai-An Wang,G. T. Hager,J. M. Holden,Ying Wang,W. T. Lee,Xiang-Xin Bi,P. C. Eklund,D. S. Cornett,Michael A. Duncan,I. J. Amster +11 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported experimental evidence for the photopolymerization of C7o films under irradiation with visible or UV fight and found that the lowest energy dimer configuration contains a four-membered ring between monomers, similar to that calculated for the Ceo dimer or "bucky dumbeU".
