3. Photoluminescence: a powerful metrology and characterization tool
The measurement of PL excitation maps (PLE) (figure 6), i.e. a set of PL spectra for different excitation energies, has emerged as a powerful characterization technique for SWNT assemblies, suspended in a liquid, or dispersed in a solid matrix. As described in section 2, it was necessary to isolate carbon nanotubes using surfactants in order to detect light emission from the nanotubes.
Since the first demonstration in 2002
