摘要
All the carbon atoms of a single-wall carbon nanotube (SWNT) are ill the surface layer. Thus, SWNTs suffer from strong interaction with the surrounding environment. When an SWNT is suspended between mesa structures, the interactions with the substrate and other nanotubes are minimized, and the nanotube is directly exposed to ambient gas. Semiconducting SWNTs suspended in space exhibit intense photoluminescence, and their optical transition energy depends on the state Of molecules absorbed onto the SWNT surface. Therefore, gas molecule adsorption/desorption can be probed by photoluminescence analysis.
