Optical properties of carbon nanotubes

what is observed in single wall carbon nanotubes. In this case, the doubly degenerate in-plane E2g optical mode can be split between phonons along the nanotube axis, and those that are perpendicular to it, with the degree of splitting, being a strong function of the nanotube size (i.e. degree of curvature), even in the absence of any externally applied strain [28]. G-peak splitting has also been observed in graphene under uniaxial strain [5] and in isolated Carbon nanotube’s under hydrostatic pressure

Nano-engineered materials including Carbon Nanotubes and Graphene are being used to develop miniaturized sensors that can detect very low concentrations of gases which are biomarkers of certain diseases like lung cancer in particular. The composition of exhaled breath contains valuable information about certain volatile and semi-volatile compounds which can be used to generate a chemical “fingerprint” and thereby screen patients with lung cancer. Graphene and Carbon Nanotubes have been discussed for the

Smart Tattoo for Anemia Testing By Aditi Mitkar   Contents Introduction 2 Fluorophore 2 Single-wall Carbon Nanotubes (SWCNT) 3 Optical Sensor 3 References 6   Introduction In this paper I'll be using the smart tattoo technology used for glucose detection to detect anemia. Anemia is a condition in which there are not enough healthy red blood cells, and therefore not enough hemoglobin (Hb) to carry adequate oxygen to the tissues. Anemia is diagnosed when Hb levels are lower than normal. This condition

Carbon Nano is the future of construction and agricultural purposes. The Nano tubing is strong, versatile and durable. More people in the construction business will use carbon Nano tubing in buildings plumbing and other things. Inorganic nanotubes have also been synthesized. Nanotubes have a diameter close to 1 nanometer giving their name nanotubes. Some nanotubes are woven with one-atom-thick layer of graphite called graphene to the seamless cylinder. History of carbon nanotubes

discussed the exciting materials nanotubes in this outline and the study being carried out on our part. We discussed the materials that are suitable for manufacturing, their processing techniques and exotic applications with supported few references. Here this abstract aims to define the basic principle of nanotubes that is their definition, basic chemical and physical properties, their applications, their fabrication process in details and their future prospect. Nanotubes hold the key in the next generation

Carbon Nanotubes, What Are They? The growth of carbon nanotubes is an intricate process that has many challenges. It is important to understand what carbon nanotubes are, there history, what their potential applications are and how they will be able to accomplish these task. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are one of a multitude of tiny materials that will help to define the future. Carbon nanotubes have an unparalleled history. The first publication about these was written in 1952 by Raduskevich and Lukyanovich

Carbon is the 15th most abundant element in the Earth’s crust and is the 4th most abundant element by mass in the universe. It is found in a large majority of organic material on Earth and its ability to bond in many different ways allows for a large diversity of organic compounds. These organic compounds that are formed in different shapes and structures are called allotropes. Carbon is a special element that is the base for almost all organic compounds and since it can form many allotropes of itself

They exhibit extraordinary strength and unique electrical properties, apart from being efficient

Graphene structure, physical properties, and fabrication methods 1.3.1 Graphene structure In 2004, two scientists prepared the graphene, a single planar layer of graphite, which has a double carbon atoms bonds. Each carbon atom joins itself with three atoms by strong σ covalent bonds, the strong carbon-carbon bonding granted graphene a rigid structure. With four valence electrons, each carbon atom can contribute one unbounded electron to form π bonds above the plane of the carbon sheet. Graphene layers

development of polymer composites is one of the most active research area in the field of nanomaterials. The composite consists of a matrix and a reinforcement (filler), these are combined in such a way that it enhance property as compared to the individual constituents. The property of composite material (matrix +filler) significantly depends on the mixture ratio between the matrix and nanofiller. Most commercially produced composites uses a polymer matrix material often called as resin solution.
