Owing to their small binding energies, excitons in bulk semiconductors typically exhibit a sharp optical peak at low temperatures only. This limitation can be overcome by single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and other low-dimensional…
We examine the excitonic nature of high-lying optical transitions in single-walled carbon nanotubes by means of Rayleigh scattering spectroscopy. A careful analysis of the principal transitions of individual semiconducting and metallic…
Theory predicts peculiar features for excited-state dynamics in one dimension (1D) that are difficult to be observed experimentally. Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are an excellent approximation to 1D quantum confinement, due to…
We present a study of free carrier photo-generation and multi-carrier bound states, such as biexcitons and trions (ionized excitons), in semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes. Pump-and-probe measurements performed with fs pulses…
Since the seminal work on MoS2 monolayers, photoexcitation in atomically-thin transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) has been assumed to result in excitons with large binding energies (~ 200-600 meV). Because the exciton binding energies…
We report first-principles calculations of the effects of quasiparticle self-energy and electron-hole interaction on the optical properties of single-walled BN nanotubes. Excitonic effects are shown to be even more important in BN nanotubes…
The properties of excitons in semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), isolated in vacuum or a medium, and their contributions to the optical spectra of nanotubes are studied within the elementary potential model, in which an…
Optical properties of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) for light polarized parallel to the nanotube axis have been extensively studied, whereas their response to light polarized perpendicular to the nanotube axis has not been well…
Excitons -- bound electron-hole pairs -- play a central role in light-matter interaction phenomena, and are crucial for wide-ranging applications from light harvesting and generation to quantum information processing. A long-standing…
Auger-ionized carriers in a one-dimensional semiconductor are predicted to result in a strong band-gap renormalization. Isolated single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) under high-intensity laser irradiation exhibit strong nonlinear…
An excitonic insulator phase is expected to arise from the spontaneous formation of electron-hole pairs (excitons) in semiconductors where the exciton binding energy exceeds the size of the electronic band gap. At low temperature, these…
Optical emission from carbon nanotube transistors (CNTFETs) has recently attracted significant attention due to its potential applications. In this paper, we use a self-consistent numerical solution of the Boltzmann transport equation in…
Semiconducting single-walled carbon-nanotubes (SWCNTs) are an interesting material for strong-light matter coupling due to their stable excitons, narrow emission in the near infrared and high charge carrier mobilities. Furthermore, they…
Efficient energy transport is highly desirable for organic semiconductor (OSC) devices such as photovoltaics, photodetectors, and photocatalytic systems. However, photo-generated excitons in OSC films mostly occupy highly localized states…
The controlled introduction of covalent sp$^{3}$ defects into semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) gives rise to exciton localization and red-shifted near-infrared luminescence. The single-photon emission characteristics…
Doping substantially influences the electronic and photophysical properties of semiconducting single-wall carbon nanotubes (s-SWNTs). Although prior studies have noted that surplus charge carriers modify optical spectra and accelerate…
Excitons, quasiparticles of electrons and holes bound by Coulombic attraction, are created transiently by light and play an important role in optoelectronics, photovoltaics and photosynthesis. While they are also predicted to form…
We report a comprehensive experimental study and detailed model analysis of the terahertz dielectric response and density kinetics of excitons and unbound electron-hole pairs in GaAs quantum wells. A compact expression is given, in absolute…
Simultaneous photoluminescence and photocurrent measurements on individual single-walled carbon nanotubes reveal spontaneous dissociation of excitons into free electron-hole pairs. Correlation of luminescence intensity and photocurrent…
Pump-dependent photoluminescence imaging and 2nd order photon correlation studies have been performed on individual single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) at room temperature that enable the extraction of both the exciton diffusion…
