Nonlinear optical properties of open-ended amichair single-wall carbon nanotubes (SW-CNT)

Abstract

Summary form only given: Optical properties of carboxylic acid functionalized open-ended armchair single-wall carbon nanotubes (SW-CNT) are studied by numerical simulations and in experiments. The polarizability, extinction, saturated absorbance and non-linear refraction are analyzed in various conditions for different types of SW-CNT and compared with experimental data.
